Yes women living with HIV are more likely to get HPV and are at a higher
risk of developing complications from it.
This is due to :
1.weakened immune systems
2.higher risk of multiple HPV types
3.progression to cervical dysplasia and this can make one have cervical
cancer.

To avoid this,
1.Get regular screenings
2.stay on ART
3.Get HPV vaccination
4.practice safer sex
5.stop smoking.
