The Impact of HIV Status and Type on the Clearance of Human Papillomavirus Infection among Senegalese Women

Abstract: HIV infection reduces the likelihood of HPV clearance. Among HIV-positive women, immunosuppression, as measured by CD4 cell count, reduces the likelihood of HPV clearance, and HIV type appears to be associated with HPV clearance.

“…Nevertheless, CD4 counts are not the only factor involved in persistent HPV infection with HIV infection. 7,8 We recognize that our study has limitations. Because study participants were either HIV infected or were at high-risk for HIV infection, our findings cannot be extended to the general population.…”

“…4-7 HIV infection reduces the likelihood of HPV clearance. 6,[8][9][10][11] Persistence of highrisk HPV type infections is a risk factor for CIN-2,3. 6,[12][13][14] Several studies suggest that HPV viral load could be a predictor for SIL in HIV-seronegative [15][16][17][18][19] and HIV-seropositive women.…”

“…Worldwide, more than 10‐fold differences are being reported in HPV prevalence5 mainly related to differences in sexual activity patterns and, in some regions, to the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is associated with increased acquisition6 and persistence7 of HPV infection.…”

“…Immunosuppression is a risk factor for HPV infection and/or detection, and there is consistent evidence that HIV-positive women have higher prevalence of HPV infection, more persistent infection, and resulting higher rates of preinvasive cervical lesions (1,2,6,7,(13)(14)(15). However, the evidence is mixed for an increased risk of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) associated with HIV (1, 13).…”
