abstract: 'BackgroundFor women living with HIV (WLHIV), the burden of persistent

  HPV infection, cervical pre-cancerous lesions and cancer have been

  demonstrated to be higher than among HIV-negative women. As Ghana and

  other lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) work toward developing

  national cervical cancer programmes, it is essential that local

  scientific evidence be provided to guide policy decisions, especially

  for such special populations. The objective of this study was to

  determine the distribution of high-risk HPV genotype and related factors

  among WLHIV and its implication for the prevention of cervical cancer

  prevention efforts.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at the

  Cape Coast Teaching Hospital in Ghana. WLHIV, aged 25-65 years, who met

  the eligibility criteria were recruited through a simple random sampling

  method. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to gather

  socio-demographic, behavioural, clinical and other pertinent

  information. The AmpFire HPV detection system (Atila BioSystem, Mointain

  View, CA was used to detect 15 high-risk HPV genotypes from

  self-collected cervico-vaginal samples. The data collected were exported

  to STATA 16.0 for statistical analysis.ResultsIn all, 330 study

  participants, with mean age of 47.2 years (SD +/- 10.7), were involved.

  Most (69.1\%, n = 188/272) had HIV viral loads < 1000 copies/ml and

  41.2\% (n = 136) had ever heard of cervical screening. The overall

  hr-HPV prevalence was 42.7\% (n = 141, 95\% CI 37.4-48.1) and the five

  commonest hr-HPV types among screen positives were HPV59 (50.4\%), HPV18

  (30.5\%), HPV35 (26.2\%), HPV58 (17\%) and HPV45 (14.9\%). Most infected

  women (60.3\%, n = 85) had multiple hr-HPV infections, with about 57.4\%

  (n = 81) having 2-5 h-HPV types, while 2.8\% (n = 4) had more than five

  hr-HPV types. A total of 37.6\% (n = 53) had HPV16 and/or18, while

  66.0\% (n = 93) had the hr-HPV genotypes covered by the nonavalent

  vaccine. Women with HIV viral load >= 1000copies/ml (AOR = 5.58, 95\% CI

  2.89-10.78, p < 0.001) had a higher likelihood of being

  co-infected.ConclusionThis study found out that the prevalence of hr-HPV

  still remains high in women with HIV, with a notable occurrence of

  multiple infections and infection with genotypes 16 and/or18.

  Additionally, an association was established between hr-HPV and

  infection HIV viral load.. Therefore, comprehensive HIV care for these

  women should include awareness of cervical cancer, consideration of

  vaccination and implementation of screening and follow-up protocols.

  National programmes in LMIC, such as Ghana, should consider using

  HPV-based screen-triage-treat approach with partial genotyping.'
