Résumé
Women with HIV infection are at greater risk for cervical dysplasia. Because of the likelihood that untreated or recurrent cervical dysplasia may progress to invasive cancer, there is an urgent need to develop appropriate therapies. Patients are randomized to receive either intravaginal fluorouracil or no treatment (observation only). Fluorouracil cream is self-administered via applicator at biweekly intervals for 6 months. Patients are evaluated for recurrent cervical dysplasia by cytology and colposcopy with or without biopsy.
