Objective: To evaluate if integrated cervical cancer screening (CCS) for women with HIV (WWH) in routine HIV care resulted in increased adherence to screening, and to describe the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-specific genotypes and the incidence of cellular abnormalities.
Design: Cohort study.
Methods: WWH who accepted the offer of combined CCS and HIV care (group 1), WWH who declined the offer (group 2), and WWH not offered CCS within HIV care (group 3) between 2013 and 2019 were included. Data was collected from The Danish HIV Cohort Study and The Danish Pathology Data Bank. Adherence to the CCS program was defined as fulfilled if WWH were screened annually.
Results: A total of 804 WWH were included. WWH who accepted CCS within HIV care (group 1; n = 218) had significantly higher adherence to screening in all study years 22-99% compared with the WWH who declined CCS (group 2; n = 232) 10-16% and WWH who were not invited for CCS (group 3; n = 354) 11-25%. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of HPV-specific genotypes and incidence of cellular abnormalities among the three groups.
Conclusion: Integrating CCS for WWH in routine HIV care resulted in higher adherence to the CCS guidelines. Combined services thereby represent an opportunity to engage WWH in HIV care into preventive services.

: The integration of maternal and child health services (MCH) with routine immunization is an important global health strategy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, evidence is lacking regarding the best practices for service integration and the effect of integration on immunization and linked health service outcomes. : We searched publication databases and gray literature for articles published between 2011 and 2020 that include approaches to integrating MCH services with immunizations during the first two years of life in LMICs.

Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are the backbone of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-the current standard of care for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Despite their efficacy, NRTIs cause numerous treatment-limiting adverse effects, including a distinct peripheral neuropathy, called antiretroviral toxic neuropathy (ATN). ATN primarily affects the extremities with shock-like tingling pain, a pins-and-needles prickling sensation, and numbness.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) and people with HIV are at increased risk of anal HPV infection and cancer. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anal HPV among MSM with HIV (MWH) and without HIV (MWoH), as well as among MSM under and over 35 years. Factors associated with infection from high-risk (HR) HPV were investigated.

: CD4+ T lymphocytes are the primary targets of HIV infection. CD4+ T lymphocyte count is an indicator of immune competence. In this study, we aimed to compare standard flow cytometry and point-of-care (POC) CD4+ T lymphocyte in terms of cost, effectiveness, reliability, time, and the use of this method for disease.
