Purpose: To prospectively compare survival between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected versus HIV-uninfected cervical cancer patients who initiated curative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in a limited-resource setting.Methods and Materials: Women with locally advanced cervical cancer with or without HIV infection initiating radical CRT in Botswana were enrolled in a prospective, observational, cohort study from July 2013 through January 2015.Results: Of 182 women treated for cervical cancer during the study period, 143 women initiating curative CRT were included in the study. Eighty-five percent of the participants (122 of 143) had stage II/III cervical cancer, and 67% (96 of 143) were HIV-infected. All HIV-infected patients were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the time of curative cervical cancer treatment initiation. We found no difference in toxicities between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected women. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 65% for HIV-infected women (95% confidence interval [CI] 54%-74%) and 66% for HIV-uninfected women (95% CI 49%-79%) (P = .70). Factors associated with better 2-year OS on multivariate analyses included baseline hemoglobin > 10 g/dL (hazard ratio [HR] 0.37, 95% CI 0.190.72, P = .003), total radiation dose >= 75 Gy (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.27-0.97, P = .04), and age
