Summary: | In an observational study of perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected (PHIV) adolescents matched by age and sexual activity to uninfected females in Thailand and Vietnam, PHIV adolescents had higher rates of anogenital infection with high-risk human papillomavirus and abnormal cervical Pap smears.
Abstract
Background
Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) may be higher in perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected (PHIV) than HIV-uninfected (HU) adolescents because of long-standing immune deficiency.
Methods
PHIV and HU females aged 12-24 years in Thailand and Vietnam were matched by age group and lifetime sexual partners. At enrollment, blood, cervical, vaginal, anal, and oral samples were obtained for HPV-related testing. The Wilcoxon and Fisher exact tests were used for univariate and logistic regression for multivariate analyses.
Results
Ninety-three PHIV and 99 HU adolescents (median age 19 [18-20] years) were enrolled (June 2013-July 2015). Among PHIV, 94% were currently receiving antiretroviral therapy, median CD4 count was 593 (392-808) cells/mm3, and 62% had a viral load |
