Abstract :We aimed to evaluate the psychosexual impact of being diagnosed with human papillomavirus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HPV);. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the anxiety and depression levels and sexual functions in women with and without HPV between March and May 2021. Beck anxiety inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BAI);, the Beck depression inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BDI);, and the Libido scoring system scales insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LSSS); were used as scales. A total of 575 respondents were included; 292 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(50.2%); HPV-negative, and 283 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(49.8%); HPV-positive, of whom 170 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60,1%); had high risk HPV genotypes 16/18 and 113 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(39,9%); had non-16/18 high risk HPV-positive patients. There was no significant association between HPV-negative and HPV-positive patients in terms of sociodemographic characteristics. While 21.6% of the HPV-positive group experienced masturbation, it was 15.1% in the HPV-negative group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.044);. While severe depression was 4.9% in HPV-positive women, this rate was 1.4% in HPV-negative women insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.002);. The present study showed that being diagnosed with HPV made a significant difference in sexual function, except for sexual interest, but increased anxiety and depression scores. Sexual dysfunction following an HPV diagnosis cannot be explained solely by depression and anxiety.Keywords : Anxiety, depression, Human papillomavirus HPV, sexual function
