Summary
This study will examine both Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectiveness and Primary high-risk HPV PHS screening triage strategies in women living with HIV (WLHIV) by partnering with the Pediatric HIV/AIDs Cohort Study (PHACS) led, in part, by our investigative team. Among WWH, the study will examine the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine The study will screen approximately 810 WWH using a self-sampling kit and those who are PHS[+] will attend a clinical visit to have colposcopy/biopsy and 4 triage tests. WWH with <CIN 2+ are asked to return annually for colposcopy and HPV genotyping for up to 3 yrs. WWH PHS[-] will be asked to return in Year 2 for rescreening. Those PHS[+] will be followed as above and PHS[-] will be asked to obtain self-collected vaginal samples for HPV genotyping annually for 3 years.
