Updates
to the HPV Section of the Adult and Adolescent Opportunistic
Infections Guidelines
The Human
Papillomavirus Disease (HPV) section
of the
Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment
of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults
and Adolescents has been updated.
The Panel updated the recommendation on HPV vaccination
in females and males with HIV infection ages 13
to 26 years to the 9-valent HPV recombinant vaccine
(0.5 ml at 0, 1 to 2, and 6 months) (AIII). For
patients who have completed a vaccination series
with the recombinant bivalent or quadrivalent vaccines,
many experts would give an additional full series
of the 9-valent recombinant vaccine (CIII).

December 1 marks the 30th anniversary of World AIDS
Day, a day set aside each year to highlight worldwide
efforts to combat HIV/AIDS, to show support for
those living with HIV, and to remember those who
have died from the infection. Despite much progress,
HIV remains a global public health threat. According
to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
in 2017, worldwide approximately 36.9 million people
were living with HIV, an estimated 940,000 people
died from AIDS-related illnesses, and about 1.8
million people were newly infected with HIV.
