HIV-positive women are at substantial risk of HPV-associated cervical neoplasia caused by high-risk (HR) HPVs. Methylation of the HPV genome is associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) in HIV-negative women, yet it is unknown whether this holds true for HIV-positive women. We designed a case-control study within the WIHS cohort comparing HIV-positive CIN3 cases (N=72) to HIV-positive controls without detectable CIN2+. The unit of analysis and matching was HPV type infection. Cases with ≥2 HR-HPV types (N=23; 32%) had a separate control for each HR-HPV type. We developed and utilized next generation sequencing (NGS) methylation assays for 12 different HR-HPVs, focusing on CpG sites in the L1/L2 regions. Significant case-control differences in individual CpG site methylation levels were observed for multiple alpha-9 (HPV16/31/35/58) and alpha-7 HPV (HPV18/39/45) types, based on dichotomization of tertile levels (T3 versus T1 and T2). Analyses combining homologous CpG sites (e.g., HPV16-L1–5608/HPV31-L1–5521/HPV35-L2L1–5570; odds ratio [OR]=7.28; 95% CI:2.75–19.3), and (e.g., HPV18-L1–7062/HPV45-L1–7066 OR=6.94; 95% CI:1.23–39.3) were significant in separate case-control comparisons. In cases with multiple HR-HPVs, we tested and confirmed the hypothesis that one HR-HPV type would have higher methylation than other types detected, consistent with there being a single HR-HPV causally-related to a lesion. CIN3 is associated with elevated L1/L2 CpG methylation levels in HIV-positive women. HPV DNA CpG methylation is a promising triage option in HIV-positive women testing positive for HR-HPV types and provides risk attribution in women with multiple HPV type infections.
