Abstract

HPV and HIV each display interactions favoring the other infection at the cellular level. HPV infection favors HIV acquisition in women and men, and HIV-infected individuals encompass a heavier burden of HPV-induced dysplasia and cancer due to progressive immune suppression. Both infections contribute to a vicious circle that may account for the scale-up of both pandemics in some regions of the world. HAART might be beneficial in reducing HPV infection and associated lesions, but only after several years with optimal control of HIV viremia and an immune reconstitution of great amplitude. Yet, the incidence of cervical and anal cancer has not decreased in the HAART era. In this review, we will look at the viral interactions between HPV and HIV at the cellular and clinical levels. We will analyze the epidemiological link between the two epidemics and try to propose therapeutic and vaccine strategies to act on both pandemics.
