Unlabelled: The series of 231 HIV-infected women were recruited in Chonburi Hospital, Thailand. Demographic, gynecologic factors were interviewed Pap smear was performed and classified based on the Bethasda system (1991) by a cytotechnologist. All abnormal Pap smear slides were reviewed by a cytopathologist. The prevalence of LSIL, HSIL and SCCA were 2.2%, 8.3% and 2.2%, respectively. There was statistically significant association between the duration of HIV infection and occurrence of SIL and SCCA. (p = 0.007)
Conclusion: The present study showed a high prevalence of SIL and SCCA in-HIV-infected women at Chonburi Hospital.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of intra-anal high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (HSIL) in women with prior HPV-related vulvar or perianal diseases using high-resolution anoscopy (HRA).
- Between 2015 and 2018, 27 women were screened; results showed that while no anal cancer was detected, 22% had intra-anal HSIL and 44% were diagnosed with low-grade SIL.
- The findings suggest that screening for intra-anal lesions in these high-risk women could be important, and further research is needed to understand how treatment for HSIL might prevent anal cancer.
