HIV infection may increase the risk of persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and complications. Male adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV) and without HIV in Thailand were matched by age and lifetime number of sexual partners. HPV infection at oral, anal, penile, and scrotal sites was detected by polymerase chain reaction. A total of 49 PHIV and 47 HIV-uninfected male AYAs (median age 18 [17–20] years) were enrolled (June 2013–September 2014). Overall, 18 were men who have sex with men (MSM) (12% of PHIV, 26% of HIV-uninfected AYAs; P = 0.12). Among the PHIV, the median (interquartile range) CD4 cell count was 573 (434–747) cells/mm3and 69% had HIV RNA |
