Microbiome mystery: could bacteria explain HPV in HIV-Positive women?
NCT ID NCT05996016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 400 women living with HIV to understand how the bacteria in their gut and vagina might influence HPV infection and cervical changes. Researchers will collect samples to see if an imbalance in vaginal bacteria makes these women more likely to get HPV and develop cervical lesions. The goal is to learn more about the connection, not to test a new treatment.
