Lymphocyte Subsets in Cervicovaginal Lavage Specimens of HIV-Infected Women: A Surrogate Risk Marker of HPV-Associated Cervical Lesions

Conclusion: Cervical lymphoid populations can be characterized by flow cytometry, showing a distinct cervical T-cell compartment in HIV+ women. This may represent a surrogate risk marker of HPV-associated cervical lesions in this population and prompt further research on this subject, contributing to improving patients ’ management.Pathobiology
