Objective: To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for cervical dysplasia in HIV-positive women receiving care at the Jos University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. Methods: A total of 369 HIV-positive women had cervical cytology performed; HIV-1 RNA viral load and CD4 counts were measured. Results: Of 369 participants, cervical dysplasia was present in 107 (29.0%) women. However, cervical cytology was abnormal in 252 (68.3%). Among those with abnormal cytology, 145 (57.5%) women had ASCUS, 56 (22.2%) had LSIL, and 51 (20.2%) had HSIL. Median CD4 lymphocyte count was lower in women with dysplasia compared with those without (142 vs 170 cells/mm(3); P = 0.04), while median HIV RNA viral load was higher in women with dysplasia (101781 vs 77 479 copies/mL: P = 0.002). Low CD4 count (
