Data suggest that in adults, human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and their sequalae, squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs), occur more commonly among human immunodeficiency (HIV)-infected women because of the HIV-associated CD4+ T-cell immunosuppression. Since adolescents are more likely to be early in the course of HIV and HPV infections, the study of both infections in this age group may help elucidate their initial relationship.
