Abnormal Pap Smear

4. Compared to women who are not HIV infected, women with HIV have which of the following?

A. Higher prevalence and incidence of HPV.

B. A higher likelihood of infection with multiple HPV subtypes.

C. Greater prevalence of oncogenic subtypes.

D. All of the above.


5. Both the prevalence and incidence of abnormal Pap smears are greater among HIV infected women than among uninfected women.

A. True

B. False


6. ICC behaves differently in HIV infected women, compared to uninfected women with ICC at a similar stage, in which of the following ways?

A. It may metastasize to unusual locations.

B. It recurs more frequently and at short intervals.

C. It responds more poorly to standard therapy.

D. All of the above.


7. Use of effective ART and good adherence are associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence and incident detection of oncogenic HPV infection and with decreased prevalence and more-rapid clearance of oncogenic HPV-positive SILs.

A. True

B. False


8. Liquid-based Pap smears are preferred because they do all of the following, except:

A. Decrease the number of inadequate smears.

B. Eliminate false-negative results.

C. Offer the possibility of direct HPV testing on collected specimens.

D. Liquid-based Pap smears do all of the above.


9. Currently, CDC and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend HPV testing for triage of HIV infected women with abnormal cytology results, for follow-up after treatment for CIN, and to lengthen screening intervals.

A. True

B. False


10. Periodic colposcopy should be considered in all of the following situations, except for:

A. After treatment of cervical dysplasia, particularly with recurrence or persistence of cytologic abnormalities.

B. With ASCUS or LSIL after ruling out a high-grade lesion.

C. History of untreated abnormal Pap smear.

D. With cytologic progression of ASCUS or LSIL that is being followed conservatively.


11. HIV infected women have an increase incidence of recurrence of cervical lesions after treatment, particularly with which of the following?

A. Glandular involvement

B. Greater level of immunosuppression

C. Absence of suppressive ART

D. Any of the above


Genital Ulcers

12. The presence of genital ulcers in HIV infected patients increases HIV shedding, which may increase the risk of HIV transmission to partners and also increases vulnerability to HIV acquisition.

A. True

B. False

A. Women who use oral contraceptives.

B. Women who use DMPA.

C. Women with severe zinc deficiency.

D. Women with severe vitamin A deficiency.


14. Daily suppressive antiviral therapy is more likely than episodic therapy during outbreaks to be associated with the development of acyclovir-resistant HSV.

A. True

B. False


Vaginal Discharge

15. In HIV infected women T. vaginalis infection increases genital HIV shedding and possibly sexual and perinatal transmission.

A. True

B. False


Pelvic and/or Lower Abdominal Pain

16. Which of the following types of pain is associated with the menstrual cycle?

B. Chronic abdominopelvic pain

Genital Warts

17. HIV infected women are more likely to have HPV co-infection, and both the prevalence and incidence of genital warts are greater in infected than uninfected women.

A. True

B. False


18. Increased immunosuppression is associated with:
