이 연구는 성매매특별법 이후 기존의 성병검진정책이 혼선을 빚고 있는 한국의 상황에서 국제적으로 성병감염률 감소의 대표적 모델로 꼽히고 있는 태국 사례의 고찰을 통해 성매매자 및 일반 국민의 성병감염을 방지하는 효과적인 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 이 연구는 먼저 성매매와 성병의 관계에 대한 최근의 논란을 가중시킨 성매매특별법에 대해 중점적으로 살펴보고 아울러 이 법의 시행에 따른 성병관리체계의 변화에 대해 알아본다. 태국 사례와 관련해서는 성행위에 관련된 사회문화적 및 정치경제학적 요인들과 성병관리정책의 연관성을 중심으로 살펴본다. 마지막으로는 태국 사례와의 비교를 바탕으로 성매매특별법하에서 한국의 성병관리체계가 보다 효과적이 될 수 있는 방안들에 대해 구체적으로 살펴본다.

The human papilloma virus (HPV) causes skin and mucous membrane infections. It crosses from one person to another by skin-to-skin contact, such as sexual contact. There are more than 100 types of HPV that can influence different parts of the body. Some types of HPV can cause cancer (such as cervical or anal cancer) and others can cause warts (such as genital or plantar warts). HPV infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Iran and around the world. Considerable molecular evidence suggests a role for human papilloma virus (HPV) in the pathogenesis of carcinoma. Epidemiological studies on human papilloma viruses (HPVs) infections in general population are critical for the performing of health policy guidelines for developing the strategies to hinder the primary and secondary different cancer. In different parts of Iran, there is a lack of population-based studies to determine the prevalence of HPV in the general population. The aim of this population-based study was therefore to report the prevalence ratse of HPV types among Iranian patients. To study the risk of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, we managed a retrospective study in Kerman province, southeast of Iran. For this purpose, 410 patients tested for the presence of HPV DNA using PCR and INNo-Lipa assays. HPV DNA was detected in 108 out of 410 patients (26.34%), while it was not detected in any of the control group samples. Patients included 23 (21.1%) males and 86 (78.8%) females. HPV type 6 was the most common (49%) followed by HPV type 16 (10.1%), and also HPV type11 (9.2%). The prevalence of HPV in Iran is comparable to those reported in other regions of the world. In a similar manner, it seems that HPV types 6, 16 and11 are the most common types in Kerman. Additional studies on larger group of patients, particularly in those with pre-invasive forms of disease, are needed to explain the roles of different HPV types in this location of Iran.
