Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the occurrence of cervical precancer and cancer among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Latin American countries (LAC) are scarce and highly heterogeneous. METHODS We conducted a systematic review summarizing data about the incidence/prevalence of invasive cervical cancer (CC) and high-grade precancerous lesions among WLHIV in LAC. Literature in PubMed and LILACS was searched. The primary outcome was invasive cancer incidence, and prevalence of high-grade lesions as key indicators for the WHO CC elimination strategy. Individual reports on invasive cancer incidence and prevalence of precancerous lesions were obtained, and a random effects meta-analysis was conducted for the latter. RESULTS In total, 34,343 WLHIV from four studies reporting CC incidence in seven LAC were included, and 6079 WLHIV from 17 studies reporting prevalence of precancerous lesions in three LAC were included. CC incidence ranged between 136.0 and 398.4 per 100,000 WLHIV (with or without antiretroviral therapy). The weighted prevalence of high-grade lesions was 4.1% (95%CI: 3.8%-6.0%) with a double peak at ages 20-24 and 35-39 years. Differences in prevalence of high-grade lesions were also observed by screening approach: co-testing (11.9%), colposcopy (6.0%), cytology (4.2%), and HPV tests (3.2%). CONCLUSIONS The high incidence of invasive cancer and prevalence of high-grade lesions underline challenges to reach the WHO's elimination goal of CC incidence below four per 100,000 among WLHIV. Moreover, the high prevalence of high-grade lesions at younger ages than in the general population is a call to accelerate the implementation of the new WHO screening recommendations in WLHIV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: As a causative agent for cervical cancer, the human papillomavirus (HPV) is well-recognized. Being a high-risk form, HPV16 is considered and has been confirmed to be associated specifically with cancer of the cervix.
AIM: HPV16’s phylogenetic tree and genetic diversity are well known worldwide, but in Iraq, documents on HPV16 genetic diversity among women with cervical cancer are lacking; therefore, the present study focused on phylogenetic analysis of HPV16 isolated cervical cancer based on L2 gene partial sequence.
METHODOLOGY: The current study focused on the investigation of HPV16 in women who suffer from cervical cancer. This survey was performed on 93 adult females suffering from cervical cancer during the period from 2017 to 2020. For the molecular study, DNA was extracted and subjected to a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection and amplification of minor capsidprotein L2 gene. Nucleotide sequences of amplified capsid L2 gene were searched using the advanced simple local alignment search tool at GenBank (BLAST).
RESULTS: Genetic screening on HPV16 L2 gene by conventional PCR showed that 60 (65%) of cervical cancer cases infected by HPV16 while only 5 (8%) of the healthy control group are positive for HPV16. The results of the NCBI-BLAST homology sequence showed that genetic variation appeared in four strains from five strains of HPV16.
CONCLUSION: HPV16 from the main causative factors for cervical cancer with high genetic variation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the major cause of cervical cancer worldwide. With limited data available on HPV prevalence in the Arab countries, this study aimed to identify the prevalence and genotypic distribution of HPV in the State of Qatar. METHODS 3008 cervical samples, exclusively of women with Arabic origin residing in Qatar were collected from the Women's Hospital and Primary Health Care Corporation in Doha, State of Qatar. HPV DNA detection was done using GP5+/6+ primers based real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay followed by the usage of HPV type specific primers based RT- PCR reactions and Sanger sequencing for genotype identification. RESULTS Similar prevalence rates of HPV infection was identified in both Qatari and non-Qatari women at 6.2% and 5.9% respectively. HPV prevalence rate of 5.8% and 18.4% was identified in women with normal cytology and in women with abnormal cytology respectively. HPV 81, 11 and 16, in decreasing order were the most commonly identified genotypes. HPV 81 was the most frequent low-risk genotype among women with both normal (74.0%) and abnormal (33.3%) cytology. HPV 16 (4.6%) was identified as the predominant high-risk HPV genotype among women with normal cytology and HPV 16, HPV 18, and HPV 56 (22.2% each) were the most common identified high-risk genotypes in women with abnormal cytology. CONCLUSIONS The overall HPV prevalence in Arab women in Qatar was identified as 6.1% with an increased HPV prevalence seen in women with abnormal cytology results and no significant trends seen with age. In contrast to Western countries, we report a varied genotypic profile of HPV with a high prevalence of low-risk HPV genotype 81 among the Arab women residing in Qatar.

Abstract
HPV accounts for most of incidence of cervical cancer. Genetic variations of E6 and E7 may be associated with the development of cervical cancer in specific geographic regions. HPV-58 has been found to be a relatively prevalent high-risk HPV among southwest Chinese women. To explore gene intratypic variations and polymorphisms of HPV-58 E6 and E7 genes originating in Southwest China, a total of 2000 scraped cell samples were collected for DNA extraction and HPV typing. Then, the E6 and E7 genes of HPV-58 (n=22) were sequenced and compared to others submitted to GenBank, followed by an analysis of the diversity of secondary structure by DNASTAR software. Phylogenetic trees were then constructed by Neighbor-Joining and the Kimura 2-parameters methods, followed by an analysis of selection pressures acting on the E6/E7 genes by PAML software. 22 were HPV-58 positive among 215 high-risk types' samples. The nucleotide variation rate of E6 was 86.36% (19/22) among the 22 HPV-58 E6 sequences studied. 4 single nucleotide changes were identified among the E6 sequences with 3/4 synonymous mutations (C187T, A260C, C307T) and 1/4 non-synonymous mutations (A388C, from Lys to Asn, in alpha helix). The most common mutations of E6 genes are the C307T and A388C. 8 single nucleotide changes were identified among the HPV-58 E7 sequences with 2/8 synonymous mutations (T726C, T744G) and 6/8 non-synonymous mutations (G599A, C632T, G694A, G760A, G761A, T803C). The nucleotide variation rate of E7 was 72.73% (17/22). The most common mutations of E7 genes are C632T, G694A, T744G, G760A (from Gly to Ser, in turn), G761A and T803C. The phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that all HPV-58 E6/E7 variants identified belonged to the Southeast Asia lineage. There was no evidence of positive selection in the sequence alignment of HPV-58 E6 and E7 genes.

Abstract
HPV account for most of the incidence of cervical cancer. Approximately 90% of anal cancers and a smaller subset (<50%) of other cancers (oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, vulvar) are also attributed to HPV. The L1 protein comprising HPV vaccine formulations elicits high-titre neutralizing antibodies and confers type restricted protection. The L2 protein is a promising candidate for a broadly protective HPV vaccine. In our previous study, we found the most prevalent high-risk HPV infectious serotypes were HPV-16 and HPV-58 among women of Southwest China. To explore gene polymorphisms and intratypic variations of HPV-16 and HPV-58 L1/L2 genes originating in Southwest China, HPV-16 (L1: n = 31, L2: n = 28) and HPV-58 (L1: n = 21, L2: n = 21) L1/L2 genes were sequenced and compared to others described and submitted to GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were then constructed by Neighbor-Joining and the Kimura 2-parameters methods (MEGA software), followed by an analysis of the diversity of secondary structure. Then selection pressures acting on the L1/L2 genes were estimated by PAML software. Twenty-nine single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-16 L1 sequences with 16/29 non-synonymous mutations and 13/29 synonymous mutations (six in alpha helix and two in beta turns). Seventeen single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-16 L2 sequences with 8/17 non-synonymous mutations (one in beta turn) and 9/17 synonymous mutations. Twenty-four single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-58 L1 sequences with 10/24 non-synonymous mutations and 14/24 synonymous mutations (eight in alpha helix and four in beta turn). Seven single nucleotide changes were observed in HPV-58 L2 sequences with 4/7 non-synonymous mutations and 3/7 synonymous mutations. The result of selective pressure analysis showed that most of these mutations were of positive selection. This study may help understand the intrinsic geographical relatedness and biological differences of HPV-16/HPV-58 and contributes further to research on their infectivity, pathogenicity, and vaccine strategy.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the etiological agent for cervical cancer and a large majority of anal cancers worldwide. In 2006 two preventive vaccines against the HPV were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and have since been approved in over 100 countries. HIV-infected populations are at an increased risk for HPV-related cancers. None of the efficacy trials for these vaccines included HIV-infected populations. However, studies in HIV-infected children and adult men show that the vaccine is safe and highly immunogenic. Studies evaluating the vaccine in HIV-infected women are in progress. Based on these studies, the American Council on Immunization Practices recommends HPV vaccination for all HIV-infected children and young adults up to age 26 years. HPV vaccine policies in resource-limited countries, many of which have a high prevalence of HIV infection, are still being developed. Future studies should examine the role of HPV vaccination for older HIV-infected adults who likely have ongoing HPV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of female injection drug users infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is increasing in Taiwan. Their human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has not been fully discussed. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in a prison for women. Both HIV-positive and HIV-negative women were enrolled voluntarily. All patients answered self-administered questionnaires, had a Pap smear, and underwent linear array HPV genotype tests. RESULTS A total of 72 female patients infected with HIV and 76 women who were not infected with HIV were enrolled in this cross-sectional study (mean age, 33.4 years). HPV infection was detected in 63.9% of patients infected with HIV and 47.4% of HIV-negative counterparts (p=0.043). Oncogenic HPV was detected in 41.6% of patients infected with HIV and 28.9% of their counterparts (p=0.10). A mean of 2.41 types of HPV were detected in HIV-positive women and 1.53 types were detected in the HIV-negative counterparts (p=0.014). HPV 52 was the most commonly encountered oncogenic type. Only 10.2% of the patients (10.9% of HIV-positive patients) had vaccine-preventable HPV types. Patients with abnormal cytology (81.3%) tended to have oncogenic types of HPV infection. HIV serostatus was the significant factor associated with oncogenic HPV infection (odds ratio=2.583, 95% confidence interval 1.071-6.231, p=0.0347). CONCLUSION Drug-using women infected with HIV had significantly higher rates of HPV infections, justifying the aggressive screening for cervical dysplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many resource limited settings (RLS) suffer from high rates of both cervical cancer and HIV. Limited HPV serology data are available from RLS; such data could help describe local patterns of HPV infection and predict vaccine efficacy. OBJECTIVES To determine seropositivity to HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18 in HIV-infected women from South Africa (SA), Botswana and Brazil. STUDY DESIGN HPV serotyping for high-risk types 6, 11, 16 and 18 was performed on samples collected from HIV-infected women from 2003-2010 using competitive Luminex Immuno Assay (HPV-4cLIA). We examined the association between seropositivity to these HPV types and country of enrollment, CD4, HIV-1 RNA level, and Pap smear. RESULTS HPV serology results were available for 487 HIV-infected women (157, 170 and 160 from SA, Botswana and Brazil respectively). Approximately 65% of women had serum antibodies to one of the 4 HPV types and less than 3% of women had antibodies all 4 serotypes. Approximately 30% women demonstrated antibodies to type 16 HPV. Rates of seropositivity to HPV 11, and HPV 16+18 varied significantly between countries. Statistical difference was also shown in women in different age categories in the different countries. There was no difference in serology results compared by CD4 count, HIV viral load or Pap smear results. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the quadrivalent vaccine may be effective in preventing HPV infection in these countries.

Abstract
Given the causal relationship between specific types of HPV with cervical cancer and precursor lesions, it is important to identify the viral type involved. The aim of this study is to access the prevalence of HPV types in HIV seropositive and seronegative women. Accordingly, 77 HPV positive cervical samples were obtained from 284 women (seropositive (n=112) and seronegative (n=172) for HIV) who attended a Sexually Transmitted Infection clinic, in Vitoria, Southeastern Brazil. Viral DNA was amplified by PCR using MY09/MY11 degenerated primers and the genotyping was performed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. Seventy five out of the 77 HPV samples were genotyped: 6, 11, 13, 16, 18, 26, 31, 31b, 32, 33, 34, 35, 52, 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, 62, 64, 66, 71, 81, 83, 84. The most prevalent type was HPV16 followed by HPV types 6, 11 and 53. Fifty five percent and 45% belonged to high and low risk types, respectively. High risk types corresponded to 59% and 54.5% of the HPV detected in HIV seronegative and seropositive women, respectively. The uncommon HPV 13 type in cervical samples was also observed in this study. The oncogenic types were more common in the HIV seronegative samples and the number of cases with multiple infections was similar for the two groups. HPV typing is not only important clinically for the establishment of monitoring and treatment of a patient, it also provides knowledge of the viral types circulating in a population, which is of interest in the development of prevention and treatment programs for this disease.

Abstract
Introduction:Several studies related that different human papillomavirus (HPV) types and intratype variants can present different oncogenic potential. In opposite to HPVs 16 and 18 variants, information about variants of other carcinogenic HPV types is still scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic variability of HPVs 53, 56, and 66 from Central Brazil isolates.Methods:The long control region (LCR), E6, and L1 genomic regions were amplified and sequenced. We evaluate for nucleotide variations in relation to the reference sequence of each HPV type and also the conservation of physicochemical properties of the deduced amino acid substitutions. In silico analysis was performed to locate binding sites for transcriptional factors within the LCR. Moreover, we performed a phylogenetic analysis with the Central Brazilian and worldwide sequences available at genomic databases.Results:Gathering LCR, E6, and L1 genomic regions, the highest genetic variability was found among HPV-53 isolates with 52 nucleotide variations, followed by HPVs 56 and 66 with 24 and 16 nucleotide substitutions, respectively. The genetic analysis revealed 11 new molecular variants of all HPV types analyzed, totalizing 31 new nucleotide and 3 new amino acid variations. Eight nonconservative amino acid substitutions were detected, which may indicate a biological and pathogenic diversity among HPV types. Furthermore, 8 nucleotide substitutions were localized at putative binding sites for transcription factors in the LCR with a potential implication on viral oncogene expression. The HPVs 53, 56, and 66 phylogenetic analysis confirmed a dichotomic division only described to HPV subtypes and different from the patterns described for HPVs 16 and 18 variants.Conclusions:The high genetic variability observed emphasizes the importance of investigating polymorphisms in types other than HPVs 16 or 18 to better understand the molecular genomic profile of viral infection by different HPV types.

Abstract
More than 100 HPV types have been described, 13 of which are classified as high-risk due to their association with the development of cervical cancer. The intratype genomic diversity of HPV-16 and -18 has been studied extensively, while little data have been generated for other less common high-risk types. The present study explores the nucleotide variability and phylogeny of the high-risk HPV-31, -33, -35, -52, and -58, in samples from Central Brazil. For this purpose, the LCR and the E6 and L1 genes were sequenced. Several variants of these HPV types were detected, some of which have been detected in other parts of the world. Furthermore, new variants of all types examined were characterized in a total of 13 new variants. Based on the E6 and L1 sequences, variants were described comprising conservative and non-conservative amino acid changes. For phylogenetic tree construction, samples characterized in this study were compared to others described and submitted to GenBank previously. The phylogenetic analysis of HPV-31, -33, -35, and -58 isolates did not reveal ethnic or geographical clustering as observed previously for HPV-16 and -18. HPV-35 analysis showed a dichotomic branching characteristic of viral subtypes. Interestingly, four clusters relative to the analysis of HPV-52 isolates were identified, two of which could be classified as Asian and European branches. The genomic characterization of HPV variants is crucial for understanding the intrinsic geographical relatedness and biological differences of these viruses and contributes further to studies on their infectivity and pathogenicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the epidemiology of the human papillomavirus (HPV) type and correlate it with the Papanicolaou smears in human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive women in Johannesburg, South Africa. STUDY DESIGN In a cohort of 148 women, HPV DNA testing was performed with the Roche HPV genotyping test (Branchburg, New Jersey, U.S.A). Papanicolaou smears were performed by standard cytology utilizing 2001 Bethesda reporting guidelines. RESULTS The average age and CD4 count of the participants was 35 years and 255 cells per mm3, respectively. Fifty-four percent had abnormal Papanicolaou smears; 66% of the abnormal cytology was low grade changes, with 33% assessed as having high grade changes. HPV DNA was found in 95% of the 148 subjects assessed, with 83% having 1 or more HPV oncogenic types. Common oncogenic types were 16, 35, 53 and 18. When HPV results were stratified by CD4, there was a significant risk of an oncogenic HPV type in women with CD4 <200. Significant odds ratios for high grade lesions were seen in HPV types 16, 35, 51, 66, 69 and 73. CONCLUSION The results of HPV typing illustrate the diverse range of oncogenic HPV and high prevalence of oncogenic type. These results highlight the need for improved access to Papanicolaou smear screening for this population.

Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the cause of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive carcinomas of the uterine cervix. The distribution of specific HPV genotypes varies greatly across populations and HPV surveys have been performed in different geographical regions in order to apply appropriate vaccine strategies. The aim of this study was to determine the spectrum of HPV genotypes and HPV-16 variants among women with cervical lesions living in Ecuador. A total of 71 cases have been analyzed, including 32 chronic cervicitis, 29 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1, and 10 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2-3. HPV sequences were detected by broad spectrum consensus-primer-pairs MY09/MY11 and GP5+/GP6+-based polymerase chain reaction and characterized by nucleotide sequence analysis. Overall, 31 (43.7%) cases were HPV positive with prevalence rates of 37.5%, 44.8%, and 60% in patients with chronic cervicitis, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2-3, respectively. Among the positive cases, the most common genotypes were HPV 16 (64.5%) and HPV 81 (29%) followed by HPV 31, 53, 56, and 58, in descending order of prevalence. Seventeen (85%) HPV-16 isolates were classified as European and three (15%) as African-1 variant on the basis of nucleotide signature present within the MY09/MY11 L1 sequence. The results suggest that HPV 16 has a very high prevalence among women with cervical lesions in Ecuador; therefore, an effective HPV-16 based vaccine should prevent the development of cervical cancer in a large proportion of Ecuadorian women.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women have high rates of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and concurrent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections with a variety of genotypes whose oncogenic risk is poorly documented. The prevalence and persistence of HPV genotypes and HPV16 variants were analysed in 112 HIV-positive and 115 HIV-negative Italian women. HIV-positive women were more likely than HIV-negative women to be infected by HPV at the initial examination (39.3 vs 13.9 %, P<0.001) and to have a higher period prevalence of HPV infection over a 3-year follow-up (43.8 % vs 17.4 %, P<0.001), regardless of CD4+ cell counts and anti-retroviral therapy. 'High-risk' and 'probable high-risk' HPVs (types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52, 58 and 66), among the 20 different viral genotypes identified, were predominant in HIV-positive (33.9 %) compared with HIV-negative (13.9 %) women. Among HIV-infected women, with normal cytology as well as with SIL of any grade, the most common genotypes were HPV16 followed by HPV81, -58, -72, -33 and -62. HPV16 isolates from 18 HIV-positive and eight HIV-negative women were classified into variant lineages based on sequencing analysis of E6 and E7 genes and the long control region. Whilst the HPV16 G350 European variant was prevalent in both HIV-positive (10.7 %) and -negative women (3.5 %), HPV16 African 2 variant was only detected in HIV-positive women (3.6 %), suggesting different sexual mixing behaviours. The increased prevalence of uncommon viral genotypes and HPV16 variants in HIV-positive Italian women underscores the need to target a wide range of HPV types in cervical screening of high-risk women.
