HIV /AIDS have evolved as a serious threat to human kind in a form of epidemic worldwide. Be it a developing or developed nation this has become a serious concern for the government and nongovernment agencies to control the spread of AIDS as there is no vaccine available for this syndrome. In this context research and statistics show that HPV affected men are at greater risk to get infected with HIV.

A study was performed on 2,168 men who do not have circumcision and in the age range of 18 to 24 was performed in Kenya. At the beginning of the men were examined for HPV. The men were sexually active without AIDS and were monitored for 24 months. Majority of them were under supervision for next 42 months.

The study revealed around 50 % of the population had developed HPV infection on their penis skin counting to 1,089.  About 5.8 % of these HPV infected men were found to be HIV positive at the end of 42 months in comparison to 3.7 percent of population who were not HPV infected.
The Journal of Infectious diseases published the outcomes of this study in the June 1 print issue and prior to this the results were out on internet on April 23.

A news released quoted the lead  author of this study Jennifer S Smith expressing  that though the controlled study was carried for several factors like circumcision and other infected cases like herpes including the consideration for social and demographic factors, those with HPV infection were found to be at maximum risk of acquiring HIV. Jennifer worked as a research associate professor of epidemiology in the Gillings school of Global Public Health at University of North Carolina. Adding to this she said if this finding is supported by other studies then the outcome would prove to be instrumental in prevention and control of HIV.

Smith told, though the absence of a vaccination for HIV is the major hurdle in the path to control AIDS, if the link between HPV infection and acquiring HIV infection could be established, then it would be another step towards taking a preventive measure for this pandemic as a vaccine for specific types of HPV is available. Making a provision for vaccinating young population before they active in sexual life could be one potential step for control of HPV and in turn a control measure for AIDS by preventing the spread of HIV.
