Abstract
Cervical neoplasia is a common problem among HIV-infected women. HIV a ppears to accelerate human papillomavirus-related oncogenic events via incompletely understood mechanisms. Cytologic screening for cervical neoplasia appears to be unreliable in HIV-infected women. Treatment is also not very effective. Invasive cervical cancer in particular has a very poor prognosis. Innovative therapeutic modalities are currently being investigated.
