“…Inactivation of P53 protein causes decreased apoptosis, and that of Rb protein causes increased proliferation of cells. In addition, chronic cervicitis by HPV causes production reactive oxygen species and free radicals that cause oxidative stress followed by the negative impact on genetic and cellular processes (Jean Anderson, 2012;Jones, 1995;Kahla et al, 2012;Prayitno, 2006). The HPV cannot be cultured.…”

Abstract-Cervical cancer is one of the leading cancers in women worldwide especially in developing countries. Various etiological factors are described, of which Human papillomavirus (HPV) is proved by various molecular epidemiological studies to play a major role. However, many co-factors are required and thought to facilitate the action of HPV in cervical carcinogenesis. Here the role of various viruses in cervical cancer and its implication in screening and diagnosis of cervical cancer is highlighted. In-depth knowledge of the role of different viruses helps in better screening methods and probably in target therapy / development of an appropriate vaccine.

Cervical cancer screening rates remain suboptimal among women in South Africa (SA), where cervical cancer prevalence is high. The rollout of HIV-related services across SA may provide a means to deliver cervical cancer screening to populations with limited access to healthcare systems. In this mixed methods study, psychosocial factors influencing cervical cancer prevention and perceptions of the provision of Pap smears in HIV care settings were examined. Structured interviews were conducted with women (n=67) from a municipal housing estate in Durban, SA. Key informants (n=12) also participated in semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that participants had low cervical cancer knowledge, but desired more information. Relevant themes included the normalization of HIV and beliefs that cervical cancer might be worse than HIV. A comprehensive community clinic was desired by most, even if HIV-positive patients were treated there. This study provides important insight into integrating cervical cancer screening with HIV clinics, which may increase cancer screening among South African women.
