Abstract:
This prospective study of 39 women living with human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy in
Western Kenya aimed to quantify genital tract HIV-1 RNA
(GT-HIV RNA) shedding before and after cryotherapy for
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Most GT-HIV RNA
shedding was detected precryotherapy, suggesting that
cryotherapy was not the primary cause of shedding.
