Histopathology result at one-year follow-up correlated with sequential high-risk HPV screening results among 236 women living with HIV

Histopathology result at one-year follow-up	High-risk HPV + / high-risk HPV + n = 31a	High-risk HPV + / high-risk HPV − n = 36b	High-risk HPV − / high-risk HPV + n = 15c	High-risk HPV − / high-risk HPV − n = 154d
Benign	12 (39)	6 (17)	6 (40)	0 (0)
CIN1	9 (29)	1 (3)	1 (7)	1 (1)
CIN2	3 (10)	2 (6)	2 (13)	1 (1)
CIN3	7 (23)	1 (3)	6 (40)	0 (0)

Note: Excludes the 1 participant who was not eligible for colposcopy at one year due to pregnancy

^aOf the cases of CIN2 and CIN3 in this category, four had persistent HPV16 or 18, four had persistent other high-risk HPV, and two had cleared HPV16 but acquired other high-risk HPV at follow-up.

^bOnly participants with indications underwent colposcopy according to the study protocol or clinical guidelines. These participants included: 8 who had CIN2 or higher at baseline, 1 with persistent low-grade cytology, and 1 with postmenopausal bleeding. The three cases of CIN2 or higher all had other high-risk HPV at baseline.

^cOf the cases of CIN2 and CIN3 in this category, seven were associated with other high-risk HPV and one with co-infection with HPV16 and HPV18.

^dOnly women with indications underwent colposcopy. These participants included: one who had persistent low-grade cytology and one who had an abnormal cervical examination.
