Anogenital neoplasia in patients with HIV infection

Individuals infected with HIV have been noted to have an increased rate of anogenital neoplasia. Recent studies have attempted to demonstrate the extent of anal and cervical cancer in the HIV-infected population as well as describe the role of human papillomavirus coinfection in the pathogenesis of these malignancies. This paper reviews the current literature pertaining to HIV-related anogenital neoplasia and suggests a schema for the clinical management of patients at risk.
