2: Cervical dysplasia and associated HPV types in a cohort of HIV-positive women




Objectives


To assess and compare the HPV DNA types and cervical cytology in our cohort of HIV-positive women and to determine predictors of type-specific HPV persistence.




Methods


409 HIV-positive females across Canada were enrolled in a multi-centered longitudinal cohort study to assess immunogenicity and efficacy of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. Participant demographic, reproductive, and HIV data was collected. Cervical samples were taken (at 0, 6, 7, 12, 18, 24 months) for cytology (Bethesda System reporting) and HPV DNA typing by Linear array assay.
