Abstract :

Background: Human Papilloma Virus(HPV) selectively infect the epithelium of skin & mucous memanes. HPV with intra epithelial dysplasia of the genital organ is twice as common in HIV(Human immunodeficiency virus) infected individuals as in the general population.

Methods: In the present study the detection of infection by HPV in HIV positive males and in HIV negative males in urine samples was compared by hyid capture 2 testing. Fifty HIV positive male patients with CD4 count < 100 cells/c mm were included.

Results: Out of total 100 samples, 7/50(14%) for HIV positive males and 6/50(12%) for HIV negative male were positive for high risk HPV. The magnitude of HPV infection was high in HIV positive patients and detection of HPV in urine would offer a more accessible,non invasive and acceptable method to diagnose it.
