This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of female high‐risk human papillomavirus (HR‐HPV) infection in Shaanxi province of China. A total of 14 111 women were enrolled for HPV genotyping test, and a cytology, and/or cervix biopsy were performed in partial women. Of these women, the HPV infection rate was 30.21%, and 26.73% were caused by HR‐HPV. The most common HR‐HPV genotypes were HPV‐16, HPV‐58, HPV‐52, HPV‐18, and HPV‐31. The prevalence of HR‐HPV among women older than 50 years was significantly higher than the other groups ( P < 0.05). The main carcinogenic genotypes were HPV‐16, HPV‐18, HPV‐58, HPV‐52, and HPV‐31. HPV‐16 and HPV‐18 combined caused 80.79% of cervical cancer cases. The infection with multiple HR‐HPVs was not a risk factor for cervical lesions. In conclusion, HPV infection was common among women in Shaanxi province. Women older than 50 years were a high‐risk group for HR‐HPV infection and cervical cancer. HPV‐16 and HPV‐18 were the main carcinogenic genotypes in this region.
