Abstract
Abnormal cervical cytology is commonly observed in women living with HIV (WLWH). A cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 WLWH and 147 age-matched healthy controls, who underwent gynecological examinations at Beijing Ditan Hospital. The presence of abnormal cervical cytology in WLWH was predicted after performing a logistic regression analysis. Multivariate logistic regression revealed three independent factors, among which CD4 cell counts of more than 350 cells/μL was the protective factor, while human papillomavirus infection and abnormal vaginal pH were the risk factors. Vaginal microecological disorders can increase the risk of abnormal cervical cytology in WLWH.
