Background: African women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at high risk of cervical cancer but rarely adequately screened. Better strategies enabling identification of WLHIV with high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN2+) are required.Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic value of HPV16 and HPV18 viral loads in a cohort of African WLHIV.Design: HPV16 and HPV18 viral loads were determined by quantitation of the E6 gene DNA by real-time PCR in cervical specimens collected at baseline and endline (16 months) from 245 African WLHIV positive for HPV16 or/and HPV18. Cervical biopsies were graded using the histopathological CIN classification.Results: Women with CIN2+ had higher viral load for HPV16 (p < 0.0001) or HPV18 (p = 0.03) than those without CIN2+. HPV16 viral load >= 3.59 log copies/1000 cells detected CIN2+ with sensitivity and specificity of 93.5% (95% CI: 81.7-98.3%) and 74.1% (95% CI: 66.3-80.6%), respectively, whereas HPV18 viral load >= 1.63 log copies/1000 cells detected CIN2+ with sensitivity and specificity of 59.1% (95% CI: 38.7-76.7%) and 66.9% (95% CI: 58.8-74.1%), respectively. A high baseline HPV16 viral load was significantly associated with persistence of, or progression to CIN2+ at endline; these findings were not observed for HPV18.Conclusions: HPV16 viral load is a powerful marker of CIN2+ in African WLHIV. HPV18 viral load is of lower diagnostic value in this population.
