Abstract
Background: Abnormal cervical cytology is commonly observed in women with human immunodeficiency virus (WWH).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 WWH and 147 age-matched healthy controls, who underwent gynecological examinations at Beijing Ditan Hospital. The presence of abnormal cervical cytology in WWH was predicted after performing a logistic regression analysis.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression revealed 3 independent factors, among which CD4 cell count ≥350 cells/μL was the protective factor, while human papillomavirus infection and abnormal vaginal pH were the risk factors.
Conclusions: Vaginal microecological disorders can increase the risk of abnormal cervical cytology in WWH.
