Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Cervical cancer occurs commonly in HIV-infected women in South Africa. These women have poor response to treatment of cervical cancer precursors. This study will test whether giving the quadrivalent vaccine to women prior to surgical treatment of the cervical cancer precursor will improve outcomes. We hypothesize that pre-treatment HPV vaccine will result in a reduced occurrence or cervical cancer precursors in follow-up.
