Abstract
BACKGROUND
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted viruses nowadays.
AIM
To analyze the prevalence of HPV infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients and the risk factors associated with this infection through a review of studies published in the period from January 2010 to April 2020.
METHODS
A total of 384 articles were initially identified in our searches, of which ten were selected according to previously defined eligibility criteria.
RESULTS
Anal intercourse, absence of condom use, multiple partners, other specific sexual and life habits, and HIV infection are among the risk factors associated with anal HPV infection.
CONCLUSION
In general, there is a higher prevalence of anal HPV infection among HIV-positive patients, mostly in individuals over 30 years old, those with multiple partners, those who had an early homosexual debut, and cigarette, alcohol, and drug users.
