The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of human papillomavirus
(HPV) vaccination on adolescent girls' knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccine,
perception of sexual risk and intentions for sexual debut. This cross-sectional
comparative study was conducted in Ibanda and Mbarara districts. Data was
collected using a standardized self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using
the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences computer software. Univariate,
bivariate, and logistic regression analyses were conducted with significance
level set at p < .05. Results showed that HPV vaccination was associated with
being knowledgeable (Crude OR: 5.26, CI: 2.32-11.93; p = 0.000). Vaccination
against HPV did not predict perception of sexual risk. Knowledge was low (only
87/385 or 22.6% of vaccinated girls were knowledgeable), but predicted perception
of a high sexual risk (Adjusted OR: 3.12, CI: 1.37-3.63; p = 0.008). HPV
vaccination, knowledge and perceived sexual risk did not predict sexual behaviour
intentions. High parental communication was associated with adolescent attitudes
that support postponement of sexual debut in both bivariate and multiple
regression analyses. In conclusion, findings of this study suggest that HPV
vaccination is not likely to encourage adolescent sexual activity. Influence of
knowledge on sexual behaviour intentions was not definitively explained.
Prospective cohort studies were proposed to address the emerging questions.
