HPV in Adolescents

Prevalence of HPV and Intraepithelial Neoplasia Biomarkers in Adolescents

This study will assess the prevalence of HPV infection in perinatally HIV-infected adolescents, intraepithelial neoplasia, and E6E7 biomarker at cervical and anal sites.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease and it causes cervical and anal cancer. Prevalence and incidence of HPV infection among young adults who are sexually experienced is high. No data exist for HIV-positive adolescents in regards to HPV infection, cervical and anal intraepithelial neoplasia. This study will compare the prevalence of HPV infection, intraepithelial neoplasia and E6/E7 biomarker at cervical and anal sites among perinatally HIV-infected adolescents, behaviorally HIV-infected adolescents, and HIV-negative adolescents.

Study Population

A total of 60 sexually active adolescents (perinatally and behaviorally HIV-infected adolescents, HIV negative adolescents) aged 12-24 will be recruited from the HIV-NAT and TRC Anonymous Clinic

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Perinatally-infected (documented positive HIV enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or nucleic acid testing (NAT) at any time and history of maternal HIV infection)
  • behaviorally-infected (documented positive HIV enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or nucleic acid testing (NAT) at any time after sexual debut without history of maternal HIV infection)
  • female with vaginal or receptive anal intercourse with a male OR male with receptive rectal intercourse with another male
  • Signed informed consent. Volunteers aged 12-17 years can decide whether they wish for their parents to consent for their participation. Due to the confidential nature of the issues being studied, parental consent may be exempted

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have any conditions that may interfer with subjects' ability to understand and consent to the study
