Abstract
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) cause various malignancies in the anogenital and oropharyngeal regions. About 70% of cervical and oropharyngeal cancers are caused by HPV types 16 and 18. Notably, some viruses including herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and human immunodeficiency virus along with various bacteria often interact with HPV, potentially impacting its replication, persistence, and cancer progression. Thus, HPV infection can be significantly influenced by co-infecting agents that influence infection dynamics and disease progression. Bacterial co-infections (e.g., Chlamydia trachomatis) along with bacterial vaginosis-related species also interact with HPV in genital tract leading to viral persistence and disease outcomes. Co-infections involving HPV and diverse infectious agents have significant implications for disease transmission and clinical progression. This review explores multiple facets of HPV infection encompassing the co-infection dynamics with other pathogens, interaction with the human microbiome, and its role in disease development.

HIV and Substance Use in Latin America: A Scoping Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19127198. [PMID: 35742448 PMCID: PMC9222977 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19127198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
This scoping review aims to explore the interplay between substance use (SU) and HIV in Latin America (LA). Database searches yielded 3481 references; 196 were included. HIV prevalence among people who used substances (PWUS) ranged from 2.8–15.2%. SU definitions were variable throughout studies, and thus data were not easily comparable. In 2019, only 2% of new HIV infections were attributed to injection drug use (IDU) in LA. Factors associated with HIV among PWUS included being female, IDU and homelessness, and PWUS were likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, start antiretroviral treatment late, have poor adherence, have treatment failure, be lost to follow-up, have comorbidities, and experience higher mortality rates and lower quality of life, as has been reported in PLWH with SU in other regions. Five intervention studies were identified, and only one was effective at reducing HIV incidence in PWUS. Interventions in other regions have varying success depending on context-specific characteristics, highlighting the need to conduct more research in the LA region. Though progress has been made in establishing SU as a major concern in people living with HIV (PLWH), much more is yet to be done to reduce the burden of HIV and SU in LA.

Abstract
We carried out a systematic review to summarize available data regarding prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). A literature search in PubMed and LILACS was conducted and supplemented with cross-referencing and grey literature. The primary outcome was prevalence of HR-HPV by age as a major determinant of HPV infection. Pooled prevalence and weighted averages were obtained. A random effects meta-analysis conducted for HPV- and HIV-associated factors. In total, 6157 women from 19 cross-sectional studies were included. Weighted prevalence of HR-HPV in WLHIV was 51.0% (95% CI 42.8-59.1, I2 = 97.4%) with a bimodal trend by age. No association between antiretroviral therapy and HR-HPV prevalence was observed, but low CD4 cell count was associated (PR 1.64, 95% CI 1.07-2.52). Although not significant, a higher HR-HPV prevalence was observed with Hybrid Capture 2 versus PCR. The high prevalence of HR-HPV among WLHIV in LAC underlines the need for improved cervical cancer prevention and early detection in this vulnerable population. Moreover, the high prevalence across age groups, and particularly in young women, deserves careful consideration for defining target populations of HPV-based screening and HPV immunization programs.

Abstract
Viral infections represent a major health problem worldwide. Due to the wide variety of etiological agents and their increasing resistance to anti-virals and antibiotics treatments, new strategies for effective therapies need to be developed. Scientific evidence suggests that probiotics may have prophylactic and therapeutic effects in viral diseases. Indeed, these microorganisms interact harmoniously with the intestinal microbiota and protect the integrity of the intestinal barrier as well as modulate the host immune system. Currently, clinical trials with probiotics have been documented in respiratory tract infections, infections caused by human immunodeficiency viruses, herpes, human papillomavirus and hepatic encephalopathy. However, the benefits documented so far are difficult to extrapolate, due to the strain-dependent effect. In addition, the dose of the microorganism used as well as host characteristics are other parameters that should be consider when advocating the use of probiotics to treat viral infections. This review addresses the scientific evidence of the efficacy of probiotics in clinical strains perspective in viral infectious diseases in the last 10 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We systematically investigated the prevalence of HPV, high-risk HPV and its genotypes in women living with human immunodeficiency virus (WLHIV) in Brazil. METHODS A systematic search was performed up to 15 December 2020. We included studies that used molecular methods for HPV detection in cervical samples and reported the prevalence of HPV in Brazilian WLHIV. The pooled prevalence of HPV, high-risk HPV (HR HPV) and HPV types and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were conducted. RESULTS Thity-seven studies accounting for 8,436 WLHIV were included. The pooled HPV prevalence was 62% (95%CI 55-68%; I2 = 96.98%; P < 0.001). Prevalence of high-risk HPV was 40% (95%CI, 54-68%; I2 = 94.23%; P < 0.001). We found a wide variety of high-risk HPV genotypes. The high-risk HPV types most reported were HPV 16 (16%) and HPV 58 (6%). We found an increasing ratio of positivity from normal cervix to cancer. There were different factors associated with high-risk HPV, with low CD4+ count the most frequent. CONCLUSION The increase in the ratio of high-risk HPV positivity from normal cervix to carcinogenic lesions highlights the need to implement well-established testing for high-risk HPV in this population.

Abstract
Background Across Ghana, females comprise 1.2% of the entire prison population (n = 15,463). Cervical cancer screening services are however nonexistent and the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) and cervical precancer is undocumented. We aimed to screen and treat inmates for cervical precancer and determine the prevalence of hr-HPV using the novel AmpFire HPV detection system combined with colposcopy by trained nurses using a mobile colposcope (the Enhanced Visual Assessment (EVA) system). Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed, involving all incarcerated women at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, Ghana. After counselling and informed consent, women underwent a structured questionnaire-based interview entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Women were co-tested for cervical pre-cancer and hr-HPV by two trained nurses using dry brush cervical samples for 15 hr-HPV types (AmpFire HPV test) after which mobile colposcopy with the EVA system was performed. EVA images were reviewed by a gynaecologist. Frequencies and percentages were used to describe categorical data, while means, standard deviations, medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs) were used to describe continuous data. Results 75% of the women were convicts with a median sentence of 5 years (IQR: 2-10 years). Their mean age was 41.1 years (standard deviation: 15.5 years, range: 19-97 years). The self-reported prevalence rate of HIV was 13.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.5%-21.9%), all of whom were receiving treatment. The hr-HPV prevalence rate was 47.6% (CI: 36.9%-58.3%) in the general population of imprisoned women and 63.6% (CI: 35.4%-84.8%) among HIV positive women. Six percent (6%) had lesions on the cervix, of which 3.6% were treated with thermal coagulation and 2.4% were treated with loop electrosurgical excision procedure. The average age of hr-HPV positive women was 37.8 years. Conclusions There is a high prevalence of hr-HPV infection among women in custody at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison. These women will benefit from structured cervical cancer prevention services, including treatment for abnormalities that are picked up during such screening.

Abstract
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in men, with several risk factors, including infection. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection with prostate cancer risk and aggressiveness. Methods: This case-control study was performed on a total of 70 archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) prostatic tissue blocks. Among them, 35 histopathologically confirmed prostate cancer tissues and 35 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) samples were enrolled as cases and controls, respectively. The specimens were examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization for the detection of HPV DNA of both low-risk (6, 11) and high-risk (16, 18) types. Results: The primary results of PCR for the L1 region revealed HPV infection in 34.3% and 8.6% of the cases and controls, respectively (P = 0.018). The HPV typing using hybridization revealed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of infection with HPV types 16 and 18 (P = 0.003, P = 0.028, respectively). The findings showed no significant association of HPV infection with age and prostate specific antigen (PSA) level of the patients. In addition, no significant association was found between infection with HPV and Gleason score (GS). Conclusions: Our findings indicated that HPV infection, especially with high-risk types 16 and 18, has a significant association with prostatic carcinogenesis. In addition, although patients with GS = 7 showed higher rates of infection with HPV, we did not observe any statistical association between HPV infection and GS.

Abstract
Women infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are more likely to manifest oncogenic viral infections including human papillomavirus (HPV). It was investigated the HPV prevalence, genotype distribution and HPV relationship with cervical lesions among women living with HIV in Sergipe state, Northeast Brazil. A prevalence survey was conducted including 270 HIV-infected women who attended the reference center for HIV in Sergipe from August 2014 to November 2017. Cervical samples were processed by the polymerase chain reaction for HPV-DNA detection. Among the 270 HIV-infected women, 190 (70.4%) were between 26 and 49 years old and 159 (55.6%) were coinfected with HPV. Among the coinfected women, 24 viral types were identified; 113 (72%) subjects had high-risk HPV types, and the most prevalent was HPV 16 (53/35.3%). Positive HPV status was statistically associated with having 0 to 8 years of schooling compared with ≥9 years of schooling; and have been diagnosed with HIV infection less than 5 years ago compared with more than 10 years. Cytological abnormalities were found in 13.4% (31/231) of women, most with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (16/51.6%). However, of women who had no cytological lesions or malignancy (200/86.6%), almost half were HPV DNA-positive (99/49.5%). In conclusion, the prevalence of HPV among women living with HIV in Sergipe was high. There was a high frequency of high-risk HPV infection, and a wide diversity of genotypes were detected, with HPV 16 being the most frequent.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause genital warts and HPV-related cancer.People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)are more symptomatic for HPV infections.Campos dos Goytacazes,a municipality of Rio de Janeiro,introduced the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV)for HIV-positive women four years before initiation of a public vaccination program.This study analyzed the prevalence of HPV infection in HIV-positive women and the variables associated with infectionTwo groups were evaluated:group 1,with Pap smear and HPV-negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR);group 2, individuals with at least one positive result for HPV in PCR or pap smear.PCR was performed in endocervical samples using generic primers, and the LCD-Array Kit was used for genotyping.Univariate and multivariate analyzes were performed.Results in 109 women (Group 1 n = 70; group 2 n = 39)showed an overall HPV prevalence of 36%.Results also showed that 88% (n = 23) and 96% (n = 25)of typed viruses (total of typed viruses n = 26)were included in 4vHPV and 9vHPV (nonavalent HPV),respectively.In univariate analysis,age less than 45 years, a high number of sexual partners,and HIV-viral load were risk factors for infection.However, a CD4 indicator was associated with protection.Although HIV infection is generally related to multiple and rare types of HPV,this study showed that a vast majority of the HPV types found are included in 4vHPV.Considering that age less than 45 years is a risk factor, the use of 4vHPV in Brazil should be extended in the public vaccination program to HIV seropositive women up to age 45 years

Abstract
Viral factors, such as high‑risk human papillomavirus variants, can increase the risk of viral persistence and influence the progression to cancer. In the present study, the long control region (LCR) of human papillomavirus (HPV)‑16 and HPV‑52, and the L1 region of HPV‑16 and HPV‑18, identified from subjects belonging to both general and high‑risk populations (migrants, HIV+ subjects and adolescent/young people) residing in Italy, were characterized using molecular and phylogenetic techniques. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Italian study to analyze a large number of sequences (n=458) and report phylogenetic data on the HPV‑52 variants. The phylogenetic analysis showed that 90% of the LCR variants of HPV‑16 and HPV‑52 clustered within lineage A (European lineage) and only sequences identified from subjects belonging to high‑risk populations fell into the non‑European lineages. Analysis of the LCRs revealed a high genomic diversity with a large number of changes. Several mutations in the binding sites for viral and cellular transcription factors characterized the HPV‑16 LCR variants belonging to the African lineages B and C, were observed in subjects with cytological abnormalities (high squamous intraepithelial lesions). The HPV‑16 and HPV‑18 L1 molecular characterization identified 30% of changes in the immune‑dominant epitope loops. These data give a clear picture of the situation in Italy, and a starting point for understanding the molecular pathogenesis and developing molecular diagnostics for HPV, vaccines and other therapeutic approaches in order to control and/or eliminate virus‑induced diseases.

Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer is strongly associated with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT), HPV DNA detection, and E6/E7 mRNA testing are widely used to screen for cervical abnormalities. Purpose: This study aimed to find a suitable method for cervical cancer diagnosis (but not for cervical cancer distant metastasis), especially among women whose TCT results are atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or worse (including ASCUS). Patients and methods: A total of 301 samples from Wenzhou People’s Hospital from June 2014 to September 2017 were collected, we conducted comparative analysis of the diagnostic performance of several conventional screening methods both individually and in combination. Results: We compared the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and Youden index retrospectively estimated not only by single TCT, HPV DNA detection, or E6/E7 mRNA testing but also by combination methods, such as TCT+HPV DNA, TCT+E6/E7 mRNA, or TCT+HPV DNA+E6/E7 mRNA. Screening under TCT+E6/E7mRNA was confirmed with relatively higher sensitivity of 76.1% (95% CI: 0.659–0.841), specificity of 74.6% (95% CI: 0.681–0.803), and the highest Youden index of 0.507. Conclusion: The joint screening methods showed relatively reliable specificity and sensitivity for cervical disease screening, and detection by TCT+E6/E7 mRNA has the potential to be a widely used clinical method for cervical cancer screening.

Abstract
Abstract Objective: To identify the vulnerabilities of women with human immunodeficiency virus to cervical cancer. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in a clinic with 152 adult women with HIV, by means of the application of a structured form comprising several types of vulnerability. Results: Related to individual vulnerability, were prevalent the age above 29 years (87.5%), education higher than eight years of study (53.3%) and family income lower than two minimum wages (94.1%). The majority reported active sexual life (81.6%) and non-use of condoms (57.2%). Regarding the social vulnerability, 56.6% were unemployed. About programmatic vulnerability, 44.0% of women underwent a prevention exam in a period of more than one year. Women with more schooling (p = 0.007), employed (p = 0.000) and that did not use illicit drugs (p = 0.000) underwent the preventive exam in proper frequency. Conclusion: In this study, were identified individual, social and programmatic vulnerabilities for cervical cancer in women with HIV.

Zhang C, Huang C, Zheng X, Pan D. Prevalence of human papillomavirus among Wenzhou women diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. Infect Agent Cancer 2018; 13:37. [PMID: 30505342 PMCID: PMC6260560 DOI: 10.1186/s13027-018-0211-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. Using a vaccine to prevent HPV infections could be a cost-effective strategy to decrease the incidence of cervical cancer. Learning about the characteristics of CIN patients with HPV infection in Wenzhou is a key step in guiding the use of HPV vaccines and screening for cervical cancer. Methods We undertook a retrospective analysis including 2612 women who were treated in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics from Jan 2016 to Nov 2017. All of the patients were examined by HPV testing and histology. Results The prevalence of HR-HPV among women with cervical intraepithelial lesions aged 65-69 years (38.8%) was significantly higher than that of the other age groups. The percentage of patients diagnosed with HPV-positive HSIL progressively increased with age to a maximum of 18.0% in the group of 40 to 44 years of age. HPV 16, 52, and 58 were the three most dominant genotypes among these women, and single infections (950, 73.3%) were more common than multiple infections (346, 26.7%). Compared to cervicitis, the odds ratios (ORs) for LSIL associated with HPV 33, 52, 16 and HPV 58 infection were 5.98, 3.91, 3.65, 3.65, and 3.188, respectively; for HSIL associated with HPV 16, 33, 58 and HPV 31 were 9.30, 7.68, 5.97, and 4.21, respectively. In LSIL, the frequencies of HR-HPV 52,16,58,18 were 19.3,18.2,10.9, and 7.8%, respectively. Conclusion Our study provides important data about the HPV genotype distribution and its correlation with cervical intraepithelial lesions in the Wenzhou population.

Variation sites at the HLA-G 3' untranslated region confer differential susceptibility to HIV/HPV co-infection and aneuploidy in cervical cell. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0204679. [PMID: 30278059 PMCID: PMC6168131 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2018] [Accepted: 09/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Post-transcriptional regulatory elements associated with transcript degradation or transcript instability have been described at the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the HLA-G gene. Considering that HPV infection and aneuploidy, which causes gene instability, are associated with cervical cell malignancy, as well as the fact that HIV infection and HLA-G may modulate the immune response, the present study aimed to compare the frequencies of HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphic sites (14-base pair insertion/deletion, +3142C/G, and +3187A/G) between 226 HIV+ women co-infected (n = 82) or not with HPV (n = 144) and 138 healthy women. We also evaluated the relationship between those HLA-G 3'UTR variants and aneuploidy in cervical cells. HPV types and HLA-G polymorphisms were determined by PCR and sequencing of cervical samples DNA. Aneuploidy in cervical cell was measured by flow cytometry. The HLA-G 3'UTR 14-bp ins/del was not associated with either HIV nor HIV/HPV co-infection. The +3142G allele (p = 0.049) and +3142GG genotype (p = 0.047) were overrepresented in all HIV-infected women. On the other hand, the +3187G allele (p = 0.028) and the +3187GG genotype (p = 0.026) predominated among healthy women. The +3142G (p = 0.023) and +3187A (p = 0.003) alleles were associated with predisposition to HIV infection, irrespective of the presence or not of HIV/HPV co-infection. The diplotype formed by the combination of the +3142CX (CC or CG) and +3187AA genotype conferred the highest risk for aneuploidy in cervical cell induced by HPV. The HLA-G 3'UTR +3142 and +3187 variants conferred distinct susceptibility to HIV infection and aneuploidy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women receiving immunosuppressive treatment due to organ transplantation are at increased risk of Human papilloma virus (HPV)-related diseases, including cervical neoplasia. This pilot study aimed to describe the cervical HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in immunosuppressed Danish women. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included women who underwent renal (RTR) or bone marrow transplantation (BMTR) in 2009-2012 or 2014 at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Women undergoing transplantation in 2009-2012 had one cervical cytology performed, whereas women undergoing transplantation in 2014 had three, one before and two after transplantation. The samples were examined for cytological abnormalities and tested for HPV using Cobas® HPV Test and CLART® HPV2 Test. RESULTS Of 94 eligible cases we included 60 RTR and BMTR. The overall prevalence of high-risk HPV was 15.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.1-26.6] and the prevalence was higher among BMTR (29.4; 95% CI 10.3-56.0) than RTR (9.3%, 95% CI 2.6-22.1), although this was not statistically significant (p = 0.10). The distribution of high-risk HPV was broad, with HPV 45 as the most common genotype (3.3%). The prevalences of high-risk HPV types included in the bivalent/quadrivalent and the nonavalent vaccines were 1.7 and 8.3%, respectively. The prevalence of low-grade and high-grade cytological abnormalities was 6.7 and 5.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Immunosuppressed women were infected with a broad range of high-risk HPV genotypes and the prevalence of cytological abnormalities was higher than found in previous studies of the general population. The nonavalent HPV vaccine will offer immunosuppressed individuals a greater protection against HPV-related diseases compared with the bivalent/quadrivalent HPV vaccines.

Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is necessary for the development of precursor lesions and cervical cancer. HPV infection among women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) occurs more frequently, presents a higher rate of persistent infections and an earlier progression to cancer. We aimed to evaluate HR-HPV prevalence, incidence and clearance, and its association with HIV viral suppression, immunological response and other risk factors among WLHA followed at an STD/HIV reference center. This was a cohort study conducted at a reference center for STD/AIDS in Northeastern Brazil from September 2013 to September 2015. Follow-up visits were conducted at 6 and 12 months after enrolment, where socio-epidemiological data were obtained. Cervical samples were collected for conventional cytology and HPV DNA research (PCR COBAS® Roche) in addition to blood samples for CD4+ T lymphocyte count and HIV viral load. We prospectively evaluated 333 women. HR-HPV DNA prevalence was 33.3% at baseline. HPV-16 was present in 5.1%, HPV-18 in 3.9% and 29.4% WLHA had other HR-HPV (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68). The HR-HPV incidence during the follow-up was 10.8%, at the 6-month visit was 7.7% and at the 12-month visit was 3.7%. Variables associated with HR-HPV incidence were: nulliparity, combined oral contraceptive use and detectable HIV viral load. The HR-HPV clearance rate was 41.7% and was associated with age >30 years and lymphocyte T CD4 count >500 cells/mm3 at enrolment. These findings contribute to the knowledge about a group of women that need more careful HPV screening and describe the association between an efficient immunological response and HIV viral suppression with lower incidence and increased clearance of HR-HPV.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is an important health issue in Latin America. Although HPV infections can have spontaneous clearance, persistence of high-risk (HR) HPV is a risk factor for cervical cancer among women and it is even higher in HIV-infected women. To determine the prevalence of HR-HPV and risk factors among HIV-infected women attending reference services for HIV/AIDS in different regions of Brazil. Cross-sectional study conducted among HIV-infected women attended at referral care centers for HIV/AIDS in nine states of Brazil. Women from 18 to 49 years that accept to participate and were not pregnant at the time of the approach were recruited for the study. The HPV screening was realized using qPCR in closed system, in vitro Diagnostic, COBAS® -HPV Roche. The cytology results were available by the Bethesda System. A total of 802(89.1%) from the selected women agreed to participate in the study. Median age was 39(Inter quartile range [IQR34-46]) years and median education was 9(IQR6-11) years. General prevalence of HR-HPV was 28.4%(228/802). HPV-16 prevalence rate was 8.1%(65/802), HPV-18 was 3.7%(30/802) and other types of HR-HPV were 23.6% (189/802). Risk factors for HR-HPV infection in the multivariate logistic regression analysis were: age ranging from 18 to 34 years (OR = 1.43[95%CI:1.18-1.75]), illicit drugs use (OR = 1.61[95%CI:1.10-2.42]) and abnormal cervical cytology (OR = 1.56[95%CI:1.34-1.81]). Results showed a prevalence rate of 28.4% of HR-HPV infection in women living with HIV in Brazil. These infections were significantly associated with having less than 35 years old, illicit drug use and abnormal cervical cytology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections with multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) types (mHPV) in Papanicolaou tests have been reported but the histologic correlation and clinical meaning remains debatable. METHODS The authors prospectively tested 37 HPV types using the Linear Array HPV Genotyping Test and correlated the results to cytology and histology findings in 260 women evaluated from June 2009 to October 2011 and followed for up to 60 months. RESULTS HPV was detected in 148 of 235 samples (63%) and high-risk HPV was detected in 132 samples (56%). mHPV infection was found to be twice as common as single HPV (sHPV) infection and was detected more frequently in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (48 of 83 samples [58%]) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or invasive carcinoma (HSIL + (26 of 47 samples [55%]) compared with other categories (P<.001). Of 34 LSIL/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CIN1) index cases, 13 of 21 patients with mHPV (61.9%) persisted on CIN1, whereas no histologic abnormality was detected during follow-up in all 12 patients with sHPV infection (high risk or low risk) (P<.001). Eighteen of 20 patients with HSIL/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2) (90%) and high-risk mHPV persisted on HSIL+/CIN2 + whereas 6 of 11 patients with sHPV infection did not demonstrate HSIL+/CIN2 + on follow-up (54.5%) (P = .066). Approximately 40% of women with HSIL were infected by high-risk HPV types other than types 16 or 18. CONCLUSIONS High-risk mHPV infection identified patients with persistent LSIL/CIN1 and may to help identify patients at higher risk of disease progression to HSIL+/CIN2+. Longer follow-up will clarify the role of mHPV testing in patient care. Cancer Cytopathol 2017;125:138-143. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
Background High risk oncologic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer worldwide. We investigated HPV genotypes among women living or not with Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) in two major hospitals in the south of the republic of BENIN in the city of Cotonou. Our objective is to investigate the association of high risk-HPV to cervical dysplasia among women under stringent anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment and in controls without HIV. Methods The investigation was carried out within 1 year period in two groups of adult women: one group with HIV1 infection and under ARV therapy in the National University Hospital (CNHU-HKM) designated as CH group (n = 86); and one control group without HIV infection and attending the hospital Mènontin for routine gynecologic checkup and designated as ME group (n = 86). Cells derived from cervical uterine smears (CUS) were used for this investigation. The samples in ME group were selected to have similar lamin A/C profile with CH group. HPV genotypes were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while lamin A/C expression profile was assessed by western blotting to corroborate the risk of cervical dysplasia. Results HPV56 is dominant in CH group while HPV66 is dominant in ME group. 31 % of women in CH group are infected with HPV compared to 23 % in ME group. Quadruple and quintuple HPV infections are more observed among CH group but not in ME group making HPV counts of 43 in CH group and 27 in ME group. Cervical dysplasia are present in 5 % (4/86) of women in CH group and in 1 % (1/86) of women in ME group at the time of CUS collection. The adjustment of the risk to develop cervical cancer in the future related to HPV infection and the total loss of lamin A/C is not significantly different in both groups. Conclusion Women living with HIV are more sensitive to multiple HPV infection but not all HPV infections generated cervical dysplasia. The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy in CH group may reduce significantly the frequency of cervical dysplasia.
