[AIDS, also a gynecological diagnosis].
In two women (aged 30 and 39), both addicted to heroin and HIV seropositive, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix respectively were diagnosed. Treatment consisted of exconisation and radiotherapy respectively. Adding invasive cervical carcinoma to the AIDS-defining conditions and CIN II and CIN III to the symptomatic HIV-related conditions emphasis the importance of gynaecological care for HIV-infected women. Clear treatment guidelines for distinct patient groups still have to be defined.
