The most prevalent HPV genotype in the electrosurgery group was HPV16 (76.19%, 32\/42). The HPV-positive rate was increased in the group that had a longer duration of electrosurgery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.016). Additionally, the HPV detection rate was significantly lower in electrosurgery operators who used surgical mask (7.64%, 33\/432) than in those who did not use protective masks (24.32%, 9\/37). Furthermore, the N95 mask (0%, 0\/196) significantly reduced the risk for HPV infection compared to that with the general mask (13.98%, 33\/236, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Furthermore, 46 participants infected with HPV were followed-up for 3\u201324\u00a0months, and approximately 43.48% (20\/46) and 100% (41\/41) became negative for HPV DNA, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Gynecologists who performed electrosurgery including LEEP were at risk of acquiring HPV infection.
