Abstract

Background: Estimated one million-plus women worldwide are currently living with cervical cancer. Many of them have not any access to health services for prevention, curative treatment or palliative care. Cervical cancer is a consequence of a long-term infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), and the majority of cervical cancer cases (>80%) are currently found in low- and middle-income countries. In fact, an increasing body of literature indicates that HIV-positive women have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer in comparison with their HIV-negative counterparts. Cervical cancer is most notable in the lower-resource countries of sub-Saharan Africa as the result of the highest incidence of HIV-infected women.
