Factors associated with uptake of gynaecological care and cervical cancer screening among women in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We assessed factors associated with attendance at gynaecological visits and cervical cancer screening, and estimated the incidence of cervical dysplasia and cancer among women with HIV (WWH) in Switzerland over two decades.

Methods

We used self-reported gynaecological information, collected biannually, in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study between April 2001 and June 2022. We used mixed-effects logistic regression to examine factors associated with attending yearly gynaecological visits and having cervical smears performed. We estimated cervical dysplasia and cancer incidence rates per 100 000 person-years and used Cox regression to assess factors associated with incident dysplasia and cancer.

Results

Among 4052 included WWH, cervical smears were collected in 83% o
