Preventing HPV-related cancers in people with HIV in Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico
Partnership for Prevention of HPV-Associated Cancers in People Living with HIV: Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico
This study is looking for ways to help people living with HIV in Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico avoid cancers linked to HPV, like cervical and throat cancers, while also giving new researchers in the region a chance to get involved in important cancer research.

What this research studies
This research aims to prevent HPV-associated cancers, specifically cervical and oropharyngeal cancers, in individuals living with HIV across Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. It involves conducting clinical trials that leverage established collaborations among experienced researchers in the field of HPV and HIV. The project also provides opportunities for emerging investigators from Latin America and the Caribbean to engage in high-quality research, contributing to the global effort to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality in this population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV in Brazil, Mexico, or Puerto Rico who are at risk for HPV-associated cancers.
Not a fit: Patients who do not live in Brazil, Mexico, or Puerto Rico or those not infected with HIV may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the incidence of HPV-related cancers in people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in similar approaches to prevent HPV-related cancers in populations at risk, indicating a promising potential for this project.
