Objective To explore the distribution characteristics and related risk factors of HPV infection subtypes in gynecological outpatient patients. Methods 50 patients who visited our gynecology clinic from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected for HPV testing and typing using gene chip technology. The distribution of infection subtypes was analyzed, and age, sexual history, reproductive history, contraceptive methods, and other data were collected through questionnaire surveys. Statistical methods were used to analyze relevant risk factors. Results The total HPV infection rate was 25%, with high-risk types being HPV 16, HPV 52, and HPV 58, and low-risk types being HPV 6 and HPV 11. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicate that early onset of sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, history of multiple miscarriages, and improper use of condoms are independent risk factors for HPV infection. Conclusion Understanding the distribution and risk factors of HPV infection subtypes is helpful for targeted screening and prevention of cervical cancer.
