Factors associated with human papillomavirus infections among women living with HIV in public health facilities in Western Oromia, Ethiopia

Human Papillomavirus infection (HPV) is among the most common sexually transmitted infections with the highest incidence and prevalence worldwide. HPV has been established as the main cause of cervical cancer and remains a public health problem globally. In Western Oromia, Ethiopia cervical screening remains a major issue because of limited resources, and shortage of HPV testing technology. As a result, the prevalence of HPV and associated factors remain unknown among HIV-positive women. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of HPV and associated factors among women living with HIV attending Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) services in public health facilities of East Wollega and West Showa Zones, Ethiopia, 2022.
