Cervical HPV 18 detection is associated with high-grade cervical dysplasia in Kenyan and Ugandan women living with HIV
CIN2/3 was detected in 11.4% of WLWH; HPV 18 detection in cervical swabs was strongly associated with CIN2/3. Larger studies among WLWH are needed to determine optimal approaches for screening and treatment to prevent cervical cancer.
