Materials and Methods. A descriptive cross-sectional study involving sexually active women was conducted.Theparticipants were submitted to a face-to-face interview, using a structured questionnaire that permitted the quantification of data and opinions of the respondents.

The high level of knowledge about HPV was associated with age, education, marital status, household income, and pregnancy, while the high level of knowledge about the Pap test proved to be associated only with education and household income. Conclusion.The results highlight the need for performing educational campaigns emphasizing the role of HPV in the etiology of cervical lesions of different degrees, including cervical cancer, as well as the importance of having a Pap test regularly to prevent these diseases.pt_BR
