About
HIV-infected women are at high risk of developing cervical cancer. This is a 3-year cohort study nested in the already existing Program for HIV Prevention and Treatment (PHPT) cohort of HIV-infected patients in Thailand (NCT 00433030). The main objective is to assess the prevalence, incidence, and clearance rate of HPV cervical infection and associated cervical lesion. The study will also provide the distribution of the HPV genotypes involved as well as other risk factors of cervical lesions. HIV-infected women receiving antiretrovirals, older than18 years of age, followed in the PHPT cohort or in the same hospitals are proposed to participate. An annual gynecological examination with a Pap-smear and a sampling for HPV testing is performed. Women with abnormal Pap-smear or with High-Risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection receive a more intensive follow-up with a colposcopy and a biopsy if necessary. Treatment is provided according to the National Guidelines.
