Background. little is known about precancerous cervical lesion (pccl),the precursor of cervical cancer among human immunodeficiency (hiv) infected women in a postconflict setting of northern uganda. objective. to establish factors associated with pccl among hiv infected women above thirty years of age in a postconflict setting of northern uganda. method. this retrospective cohort study used electronic data from 995 hiv-positive women that attended cervical cancer screening during june 2014 and december 2015. data on social,sexual,obstetric,and gynecological factors was analyzed at 95% confidence level. multivariate analysis determined factors independently associated with positive pccl. probability value less than 5% was considered significant. results. prevalence of pccl was 3.0% (95% confidence interval (ci): 2.0-4.3). a positive pccl was significantly associated with absence of sexually transmitted diseases (stds) during clinic visits (adjusted odds ratio,aor = 0.24; 95% confidence interval (ci): 0.09-0.64; p = 0.004) and first pregnancy before the age of 20 years (aor = 3.09; 95% ci: 1.21-7.89; p = 0.018). conclusion. the prevalence of pccl was low in the postconflict setting of northern uganda. hiv-positive women presenting with stds and those with first pregnancy before the age of 20 years were at increased risk of pccl. © 2016 jonathan izudi et al.
