Abstract
Study Objective: To make clinicians aware of the possibility of children being coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) and discuss the clinical dilemmas and legal implications.
Design and Participants: Two illustrative case reports of children simultaneously infected by HIV and HPV and evaluated for sexual abuse.
Setting: The patients were evaluated in the Child Abuse Pediatric Clinic at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York City.
Interventions: The patients were treated with topical 5% 5-fluorouracil cream.
Results: Sexual abuse transmission of HIV was strongly suggested in one patient. Sexual abuse transmission of HPV could not be proven in either case.
Conclusions: Genital condyloma may be a clinical manifestation of progressive immunosuppression secondary to vertically or sexually acquired HIV infection in children. Legal issues of children with sexually transmitted diseases need to be addressed in the future.
