Papanicolaou smear abnormalities in HIV‐infected women in north India

Background: Dysplasia on Papanicolaou (Pap) smears have been reported in 15–40% of HIV‐positive women. These rates are 10–11 times higher than those observed among HIV‐negative women. Both the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research recommend that HIV‐infected women have a gynecologic evaluation including a Pap smear and pelvic examination as part of their initial evaluation.
