“…The authors found that 60% of tested samples were HPV+, out of which, HR-HPV infection accounted for more than 80%. Remarkably, the study also noted a significantly higher frequency of HPV infection among the HIV-1-infected group [106].…”

“…In Algeria, Mougin et al, 2016 reported a 100% prevalence of HPV in cervical cancer samples [105]. On the other hand, Mouhammedi et al, in 2017, examined cervical samples from 96 women that were either HIV-1-infected or presenting with a gynecological disease [106]. The authors found that 60% of tested samples were HPV+, out of which, HR-HPV infection accounted for more than 80%.…”

“…Notably, the methodology used for HPV DNA detection varied significantly amongst reviewed papers. Although the majority of studies used RT-PCR [74,[79][80][81][82][83][84]92,95,96,[99][100][101][102][103], others also used Hybird Capture 2 (HC2) [85], HPV linear array assay and direct sequencing [90], and hybridization reverse blot technique [98,105,106]. The highlighted differences in HPV detection technique used potentially affected the reported prevalence of HPV.…”

Human Papillomaviruses-Related Cancers: An Update on the Presence and Prevention Strategies in the Middle East and North African Regions

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped double-stranded DNA virus capable of infecting skin and mucosa epithelial cells. Commonly, HPV infection is associated with sexually transmitted diseases and is considered the leading cause of cervical cancer and other carcinomas of the anogenital tract. However, several studies reported their involvement in cancers of non-sexual regions, including colorectal, head and neck, and breast cancers. There are several studies from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions on the potential association between high-risk HPVs and cancer; nevertheless, there are limited studies that address the significance of HPV vaccination as a potential guard against these cancers. In the current review, we present a comprehensive description of the current HPV-associated cancers prevalence rates in the MENA region, demonstrating their steady increase with time, especially in African regions. Moreover, we discuss the potential impact of vaccination against HPV infections and its outcome on human health in this region.

“…A review of existing literature identified only one study conducted in west Algeria in 2016, which estimated HPV prevalence at 41.4% among a sample of 32 WLHIV. 11 To address this gap in knowledge, we propose this first large cross-sectional in eastern Algeria with the main objective of estimating the prevalence of HPV infection in WLHIV. Secondary objectives include analyzing risk factors favoring HPV infection, and determining the HPV genotypes responsible.…”

Background Genital HPV infection is recognized worldwide as one of the most common, if not the most common, sexually transmitted infection. Several studies have shown a higher prevalence of HPV infection in women living with HIV (WLWH). We aimed to determine the prevalence of HPV, the circulating genotypes, and its association with risk factors among Algerian WLHIV. Methods Cervical specimens were collected from 100 WLHIV. The detection of HPV infection was performed by Roche Linear Array test. Results The overall prevalence of HPV infection was determined at 32%, all including high risk HPV (HR-HPV). We found a great diversity of HR-HPV genotypes, the most common individually were HPV52, HPV16, HPV18 and HPV58, The highest prevalence was found in groups of genotype 52, 25%. HPV16 and 18 were less common (16%). Cervical cytology was abnormal in 66% (81.3% in the HPV + population), with a predominance of inflammatory lesions (75% HPV +), The most important determining risk factor for HPV infection in this series was a low CD4 T cell count <200/mm3 found in 72% of the HPV positive participants. Conclusion Our study is an initial database, to be completed by a multicenter study to determine the most frequent genotypes in Algerian WLHIV, in order to discuss the introduction of the vaccine against HPV in Algeria, especially among WLHIV.

Objective: This is a scientometric study based on the analysis of the evolution of the literature on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS) in all its aspects in the specific context of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from 2007 to 2022. Methodology: This is a scientometric study. The data analyzed as part of this study are articles published on HIV/AIDS in the period from 2007 to 2022 in the context of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The following parameters were analyzed: years of publication, authors and their relationships, affiliations, journals of publications, the language of publications, keywords, association of publishing institutions, countries of publication and their relationship. Excel software and VOSViewer were used for data processing. Results: The study involved 56 articles published in several journals worldwide. The University of Kinshasa, the University of Lubumbashi and the National Multisectoral HIV/AIDS Program are the most important institutions in term of the number of articles. Five journals published more than one article. Some authors were identified as relevant because they were mentioned in more than one article, including Mandina, Mukuku, Situakibanza, Luboya and Amaele, while Situakibanza, followed by Mandina and Mukuku are those who have published more than other authors. In terms of contry's contributions, two contries were identified as more productive: the DR Cong in first place, followed by the United Stateds of America (USA). The keywords that were more mentioned are HIV/AIDS and DR Congo. Conclusion: In the last ten years, a development in HIV/AIDS research in DR Congo can be observed. Motivation of the study: It is essential to evaluate the evolution of research on HIV / AIDS (a formidable disease that is an endemic of international renown) in the specific context of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Main results: Several publications on HIV/AIDS were identified with strong collaboration between authors, countries and authors' affiliations. The DR Congo and the USA were the countries that participated most in the publications identified. Implication: This study will give future researchers an overview of existing research and emerging themes in HIV/AIDS in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
