Methods: Cervical cytology, HPV detection by Hybrid Capture-2™ assay, and diagnosticcolposcopy were followed by cervical biopsy if indicated. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyzeassociations between HPV co-infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and HIV-related clinicaland laboratory parameters. Results: Colposcopic-histopathologically proven CIN2+ lesions were present in7/83 (8.4%) HIV-infected women. Nearly half (41/83, 43%) were co-infected with carcinogenic HPV genotypes.HPV co-infection was higher in women with colposcopic-histopathologically proven CIN2+ lesions than womenwith
