Overview

Hospital-based study reveals elevated human papillomavirus infection rates linked to immunosuppression in HIV-positive women, highlighting the need for routine cervical cancer screening.

Key Points

  • Cervical human papillomavirus infection is widespread among HIV-positive women, with transmission and persistence exacerbated by severe immunosuppression.
  • An overall HPV prevalence of 28% was observed across cohorts, rising to 31.9% among participants presenting with a low cd4 cell count.
  • ELISA procedures and cytology testing were conducted across regional hospitals, highlighting the urgent need for routine cervical cancer screening.
