6. Cervical cancer prevention and HPV vaccination
6.1. Indonesia
The Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) European Union
consortium sponsored an HPV pilot program in Indonesia (Jakarta
and Bali). A clinical trial will be conducted among 200 women
examining the feasibility of simple, low-cost delayed type hypersensitivity
(DTH) skin test to detect HPV-immune reactivity versus
HPV-16 [39]. This will help determine the proportion exposed to
HPV-16 and provide data as to when the most appropriate age
would be for vaccination.
