The characteristics of participants as shown in Table 1 demonstrate the heterogeneity of the sample. Participants averaged 33.9 years (aged 23–47). Details in parentheses following quotes represent the participant’s identification number. Half of 20 women interviewed had children and 70 percent (14) were married.
Many women reported seeking information about fertility and pregnancy from a range of sources, including the Internet, their healthcare provider, and other women with HPV. They indicated that finding up-to-date trustworthy information was challenging. Most women preferred information provided by websites. Participants identified many fertility and childbearing concerns. The three main categories extracted from the interviews were ”concerns about fertility potential,” ”pregnancy concerns,” and ”non-pregnancy reproductive concerns” (Table 2).
