OBJECTIVES. To determine the prevalence of papilloma virus genotypes of high and low oncogenic grade, to relate to age groups, with genotypes that avoid both existing vaccines and the risk factors for uterine cervical cancer. METHODS. Epidemiological, observational, cross-sectional study. The random sample was 500 women from the urban area of Cuenca city. Two samples of the cervix were taken. Polimeraza chain reaction method and cytopathology Papanicolaou study were used. RESULTS. The prevalence of papilloma virus genotypes of high oncogenic grade was 35,9% and 14,3% low oncogenic grade. The prevalence of cytologic abnormalities, Papanicolaou, was 16%. This prevalence was more frequent in the group of 30-39 years, and 40-50 years. By inference, the coverage of the Cervarix vaccine would be 8% and 13% for Gardasil. Risk factors were related to the number and frequency of intercourse and number of sexual partners. CONCLUSION. The prevalence of genotypes was high and the vaccine coverage was low.
