HPV have been identified as high-risk and low-risk, depending on their association with the development of cancer. infections can be facilitated by co-infection HIV. Here, we investigated prevalence genotypes risk factors affecting HPV/HIV co-infection. Forty HIV-positive patients had 80 cervical swab samples collected in 2 consecutive years. Polymerase chain reaction DNA direct sequencing were used to perform genotyping. Statistical analyses performed regarding for occurrence lesions. was...

HPV persistence is a key determinant of cervical carcinogenesis. The influence postpartum on clearance has been debated. This study aimed to assess in later pregnancy and among HIV-positive negative women. We conducted follow-up with 151 HPV-positive women coinfected HIV, 2007–2010. After baseline assessment, all were retested for infection using PCR after delivery. Multivariable logistic regressions assessed the putative association covariates status between each one successive visits....
