Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 Aug;114(8):507-508. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8761/2022.

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most frequent sexually transmitted infections in the world, with great importance due to its oncogenic potential. Both the risk of infection and the development of neoplasia are increased in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, so HPV vaccination should be recommended in these patients.
