Fig. (1) HIV is associated with increased numbers of both
single and multiple HPV infections and abnormal cytology in
LBC Samples. (A) Illustrates the association between HPV
infection and HIV WHO staging. It can be seen that most HPV
infections occurred in advanced stages of III & IV although this
was not judged to be significantly different (p = 0.09). (B) Shows
the association between HIV & HPV co-infections and abnormal
cytology (n=121). HIV infection was highly associated with
multiple HPV infections (p< 0.006), and was a significant factor for
abnormal cervical cytology in both single and multiple HPV
infections. (C) Shows the association between HIV and HPV high-risk
versus low-risk genotypes (n=121). Infection with high-risk
HPV types and HIV infection was highly associated with abnormal
cervical cytology (p<0.01).
