“…These results underscore the importance of routine gynecologic examinations and follow-up in those who present with cervical lesions. These results are in agreement with other Brazilian 10 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 and international studies 12 , 13 , 14 , 24 , 25 that showed high prevalence of high risk HPV among HIV infected women.…”

“…The multivariate analysis did not find any association between HAART use and any grade of cervical neoplasia, and is in agreement with previous research [14, 23]. One study among 328 US women found no difference in cervical disease prevalence between HIV-seropositive women treated and untreated with either mono- or combination therapy (non-HAART) over study follow-up [14]. An Italian study of 163 HIV-seropositive women also found no beneficial effect of HAART therapy on the risk of incident SIL, or on the progression rate of cervical lesions after adjusting for CD4 cell count [23].…”
