HIV-1 RNA Genital Tract Shedding after Cryotherapy for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia in Western Kenya


 This prospective study of 39 women living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in Western Kenya aimed to quantify genital tract HIV-1 RNA (GT-HIV RNA) shedding before and after cryotherapy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Most GT-HIV RNA shedding was detected pre-cryotherapy, suggesting that cryotherapy was not the primary cause of shedding.
