Abstract: A determination of the incidence of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) in HIV-seropositive women with normal cytology results, by baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA results is done. The results suggest that similar cervical cancer screening practices would be applicable to both HIV-seronegative and HIV-seropositive women.
