HPV and HIV -- disease, infection, and vaccination

Annecy, Les Pensières, October 19-21, 2008

 

The understanding of HPV and HIV transmission, disease manifestations, and the role of vaccination is rapidly evolving.  With the recent introduction of the HPV vaccine, the global scientific and public health communities have a potent motivation to even better understand these relationships.  The HPV vaccine offers tremendous benefit to both women and men in reducing HPV disease.  Regarding HIV, there remain important questions regarding HPV vaccine to include:  what is the likely benefit to HIV positive individuals, are we able to vaccinate HIV infected individuals, and would HPV vaccination help reduce transmission of HIV?
