About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Human Immunodeficiency Virus focused on measuring Human Papilloma Virus, Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • Stable HIV disease (i.e. receiving ART for at least 1 year, no adverse drug reactions requiring regular monitoring, no current illnesses or pregnancy, good understanding of lifelong adherence and evidence of treatment success: two consecutive undetectable viral load measures)
  • Referred for high-resolution anoscopy

Exclusion criteria

  • Documented AIN (treated or untreated)
  • Local anal inflammation (proctitis) and/or acute fissure

Sites / Locations

  • University Hospitals Leuven

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

HPV genotyping

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of HPV subtypes in HIV-positive patients
Retrieval of 1 anal swab before performing HRA to determine the HPV subtypes at that particular moment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Correlation between high-resolution anoscopy findings and quantitative HPV genotyping
Performing HRA (30 minutes) with or without biopsies, results biopsies up to 10 days

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The pathophysiology from anal HPV infection to Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia is less well understood than cervical HPV infection. In cervical screening programs it is well accepted that the sole presence of a high-risk HPV strain (irrespective of number of viral particles) is sufficient to justify further investigation and treatment. The investigators hypothesize that in anal HPV infection not only the presence but the extent of HPV infection (single genotype viral load) or combination of different HPV genotypes (cumulative viral load) is of importance in determining the risk of anal dysplasia.
