This is a study to determine what Human Papillomavirus HIV seropositive women in Botswana, South Africa and Brasil have been exposed to during their life. The Human Papillomavirus causes cervical cancer. Different types are more likely to lead to cancer than other types. A vaccine has been made to fight infection against HPV 16 and 18 which has been shown to cause cervical cancer in America and Europe. What HPV type cause cancer in other countries is not as well studied.
Hypothesis HPV serology will demonstrate that exposure to each HPV type in Gardisil (6,11,16,18) will be <50% in HIV seropositive women in resource limited countries.
Plasma from HIV seropositive women will be taken and sent to MERCK in the USA to evaluate what the antibody titers of HPV 6,11,16 and 18. .
