HPV infection and HIV acquisition in women. Averbach[], Low[] and Smith-McCune[] et al increased risk of HIV acquisition associated with infection with any HPV genotype compared to no HPV infection in women.The point estimate from all three were consistent with a harmful effect of HPV infection (aHR=1.71, aHR=2.40 and aHR=2.26 respectively) although the association was only statistically ...

HIV-related immunodeficiency has complex effects on female genital HPV, which include increased risks of infection, multiple types, persistence, reactivation and the risk to develop pre-invasive and invasive disease. Reconstitution of immunity with anti-viral drugs improves cellular immunity, but th ….
1 lut 2018 · HIV–HPV interactions should influence public health decisions towards prioritising large-scale prepubertal HPV vaccination, secondary cervical cancer prevention by screening and early detection programmes for HIV-infected women to complement early initiation of ART.

While HPV infection can cause cervical cancer in women, it is also a strong risk factor for HIV acquisition. This may have a biological basis; HPV infection induces genital inflammation, vaginal barrier disruption, and influx of activated target T cells, which have all been implicated in HIV risk.
CD4 cell count in HIV-positive women is inversely associated with risk of HPV infection and cervical lesion progression. Further, several studies showed that women with high CD4 count (>500 cells/mm 3) had similar risk of HPV disease progression as HIV-negative women.
Although persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is causally associated with cer-vical cancer, only a fraction of women that get infected with HPV develop persistence, high-grade CIN and if not detected and treated cervical cancer.
