 AB    Lower genital tract neoplasia appears to occur often and in multiple
       sites in women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To
       describe the prevalence of lower genital tract neoplasia in HIV-infected
       women in our clinic we performed a retrospective chart review of 38
       HIV-infected women who had received screening colposcopy. Fourteen
       percent of the women had VIN on biopsy. In addition, 50% of the women
       had abnormal Pap smears and 24% had CIN on biopsy. In this study, lower
       genital tract neoplasia was multifocal in nature and included a
       relatively high prevalence of VIN not previously reported in the
       literature.
