Vaccine trial aims to shield HIV+ women from cervical cancer risk

NCT ID NCT03284866

Summary

This study tested whether the HPV vaccine could help prevent high-grade cervical lesions from developing or returning in women living with HIV. 536 HIV-positive women who also had HPV received either the actual vaccine or a placebo (saltwater shot) after their cervical lesions were treated. Researchers followed participants for two years to see if the vaccine reduced the chance of lesions coming back compared to the placebo.
