HPV Infection and Cervical Abnormalities in HIV Positive Women in Different Regions of Brazil, a Middle-Income Country

Abstract: Human papillomavirus is a virus that is distributed worldwide, and persistent infection with high-risk genotypes (HR-HPV) is considered the most important factor for the development of squamous cell cervical carcinoma (SCC). However, by itself, it is not sufficient, and other factors may contribute to the onset and progression of lesions. For example, infection with other sexually transmitted diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be a factor. Previous studies have shown the relationship betwe… Show more

“…Lower CD4 count most frequently reported in this review is concordant with previous reviews in which low CD4 was strongly associated with HPV infection [53][54][55]. Previous study also revealed that the most frequent high risk genotype observed in HIV positive women (i.e.…”

“…Previous study also revealed that the most frequent high risk genotype observed in HIV positive women (i.e. 46.7%) [54] which is closer to the current pooled estimate for high risk HPV (51.0%), indicating that HIV infection might increase the susceptibility to latent HPV infection [55]. The review conducted to estimate prevalence of HPV genotype among African women, including Ethiopia revealed that HPV16, 52,35,18,58,51,45,31,53, and 56 were the ten most common genotypes in the normal cervical cytology while HPV 16,18,35, and 52 were the four common types [56].…”

“…The incidence and mortality rate are a manifestation of inequality in health, because approximately 85% of the global burden occurs in less developed countries 5 . The HIV/AIDS epidemic also plays an important role in the high incidence of cervical cancer.Previous studies reveal higher rates of HPV in HIV-positive individuals 39,40 .…”

“…Cancer of the cervix is an AIDS defining condition (Clifford et al, 2006) and women living with HIV infection are known to have an increased prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and an increased prevalence of high risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) (Freitas et al, 2015), and a greater likelihood of persistent infections (Beachler et al, 2015) when compared with their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative counterparts. This is as a result of immunosuppression.…”
