OBJECTIVE: We have previously described a high incidence of genital infection, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and in situ carcinoma of the cervix in HIV infected women. The aim of this paper is to compare the incidence of genital infection and CIN in three different groups, to clarify the relationship between HIV infection and CIN. METHODS: Three groups were compared: Group I, HIV infected women (IVDU and women infected by heterosexual transmission); Group II, control group (seronegative women with similar characteristics to Group I) and Group III, prostitutes (prostitutes who were not IVDU and were seronegative). Vaginal smear, colposcopy and microbiological study were done in all the cases. In cases of abnormal smear or colposcopy, cervical biopsy was done. RESULTS: Five out of ten women in Group I, one out of ten women in Group II and two of 23 women in Group III were found to have a CIN. TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: No statistical differences -/X2 = 2.14 p 0.5) could be demonstrated between the HIV infected Group and the control Group. Significant differences between group I and group III were found -/X2 = 4.85 P 0.05). No differences were found in the infection rate of the three groups. More cases and controls are now being enrolled, to clarify the lack of differences in these groups.
