State-of-the-Science of human papillomavirus vaccination in women with human immunodeficiency Virus: Summary of a scientific workshop.

ABSTRACT: The burden of cervical cancer is disproportionately distributed globally, with the vast majority of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (WWH) are at increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer as compared to HIV-negative individuals. HPV vaccination remains a priority in regions with a high burden of cervical cancer and high HIV prevalence. With HPV vaccines becoming more accessible, optimal use beyond the initial World Health Organization-recommended target population of 9 to 14-year-old girls is an important question. In March 2022, a group of experts in epidemiology, immunology, and vaccinology convened to discuss the state-of-the-science of HPV vaccination in WWH. This report summarizes the proceedings: review of HIV epidemiology and its intersection with cervical cancer burden, immunology, HPV vaccination including reduced-dose schedules and experience with other vaccines in people with HIV (PWH), HPV vaccination strategies and knowledge gaps, and outstanding research questions. Studies of HPV vaccine effectiveness among WWH, including duration of protection, are limited. Until data from ongoing research is available, the current recommendation for WWH remains for a multi-dose HPV vaccination regimen. A focus of the discussion included the potential impact of HIV acquisition following HPV vaccination. With no data currently existing for HPV vaccines and limited information from non-HPV vaccines, this question requires further research. Implementation research on optimal HPV vaccine delivery approaches for WWH and other priority populations is also urgently needed.

Project description:ImportanceTo inform the design and implementation of targeted interventions to reduce the future burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers in Texas, it is necessary to examine the county and health service region (HSR) levels of (1) the proportion of children and teenagers aged 9 to 17 years who initiated and were up to date for HPV vaccination series and (2) HPV-related cancer incidence rates (IRs).ObjectiveTo evaluate temporal trends and geospatial patterns of HPV vaccination initiation and up-to-date status as well as HPV-related cancer rates at county and HSR levels in Texas.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based cross-sectional study used data from the Texas Immunization Registry, the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database, and Texas Department of State Health Services annual population counts from 2006 to 2022. The analysis of HPV vaccination rates was conducted among children and teenagers aged 9 to 17 years; the analysis of HPV-related cancer rates was conducted among adults aged 20 years and older. Data were extracted between June and July 2023 and statistical analysis was performed from February to April 2024.Main outcomes and measuresHPV vaccination initiation and up-to-date status rates and HPV-related cancer IR at county and HSR levels.ResultsA total of 32 270 243 children and teenagers (65.8% female individuals and 34.2% male individuals) and 22 490 105 individuals aged 20 years and older (50.7% female individuals and 49.3% male individuals) were included. The mean 2021 to 2022 county-level HPV vaccination series initiation estimates ranged from 6.3% to 69.1% for female and from 7.0% to 77.6% for male children and teenagers aged 9 to 17 years. County-level vaccination up-to-date estimates were generally lower compared with those of initiation estimates and ranged from 1.6% to 30.4% for female and from 2.1% to 34.8% for male children and teenagers. The pattern of HPV vaccination rates stratified by sex were similar across counties and HSRs. The age-adjusted annual HPV-related cancer IR by county for years 2016 to 2020 ranged from 0 to 154.2 per 100 000 for female individuals and from 0 to 60.1 per 100 000 for male individuals. The counties located in North Texas, HSRs 2/3 and 4/5N, had lower HPV vaccination rates and higher IRs of HPV-related cancers for both female and male individuals compared with other regions.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, the incidence of HPV-related cancers varied widely across the counties and HSRs of Texas. More counties in North Texas, HSRs 2/3 and 4/5N, had higher IRs of HPV-related cancers and a lower proportion of HPV vaccination rates than counties in other regions. Designing and implementing targeted interventions to increase uptake and completion of HPV vaccination series across counties with low HPV vaccination rates may help to reduce future the burden of HPV-related cancers.

Project description:ObjectivesCervical cancer is caused by persistent infection with oncogenic, or "high-risk" types of human papillomaviruses, and is the most common malignancy in Kenyan women. A longitudinal study was initiated to investigate factors associated with persistent human papillomavirus detection among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Kenyan women without evidence of cervical dysplasia.MethodsDemographic/behavioral data and cervical swabs were collected from HIV-uninfected women (n = 82) and HIV-infected women (n = 101) at enrollment and annually for 2 years. Human papillomavirus typing was performed on swabs (Roche Linear Array). Logistic regression models of human papillomavirus persistence were adjusted for demographic and behavioral characteristics.ResultsHIV-infected women were older and less likely to be married and to own a home and had more lifetime sexual partners than HIV-uninfected women. All HIV-infected women were receiving anti-retroviral therapy at enrollment and had satisfactory CD4 cell counts and HIV viral loads. One- and two-year persistent human papillomavirus detection was significantly associated with HIV infection for any human papillomavirus, high-risk human papillomavirus, International Agency for the Research on Cancer-classified high-risk human papillomavirus, and non-oncogenic "low-risk" human papillomavirus.ConclusionPersistent detection of oncogenic and non-oncogenic human papillomavirus was strongly associated with HIV infection in Kenyan women with re-constituted immune systems based on satisfactory CD4 cell counts. In addition to HIV infection, factors associated with an increased risk of human papillomavirus persistence included a higher number of lifetime sex partners. Factors associated with decreased risk of human papillomavirus persistence included older age and being married. Further studies are needed to identify the immunological defects in HIV-infected women that allow human papillomavirus persistence, even in women receiving effective anti-retroviral therapy. Further studies are also needed to determine the significance of low-risk human papillomavirus persistence in HIV-infected women.
