Brief Summary

The Efficacy of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination to Prevent Infection Among Women Living with HIV: A Prospective, Individual, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Study is evaluating immediate or delayed single-dose nonavalent HPV vaccination among women living with HIV who received one HPV vaccination prior to HIV diagnosis.

Detailed Description

The HOPE II Study is an individual-level, randomized trial of immediate or delayed vaccination with a single-dose of the nonavalent HPV vaccine. The primary outcome is single-dose HPV 16/18/31/33/45/52/58 vaccine efficacy (VE). The study will provide evidence on the efficacy of single-dose HPV 16/18/31/33/45/52/58 vaccination among women living with HIV.

Participants will be randomized 1:1 into two different Groups.

* Group 1: Will receive nonavalent HPV vaccine at Day 0 and meningococcal vaccine at Month 18

* Group 2: Will receive the meningococcal vaccine at Day 0 and nonavalent HPV at Month 18

The meningococcal vaccine was chosen as the control vaccination because meningococcal vaccination has no activity against HPV infection. Further, the meningococcal vaccine has the potential to be of benefit in a meningitis outbreak context and could be beneficial for young persons in a congregate setting such as tertiary institutions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy of single-dose HPV among women living with HIV who were vaccinated against HPV 16/18 before their HIV diagnosis.18 Months

Efficacy will be measured by the incidence of persistent infection from at least one of these HPV 16/18/31/33/45/52/58, where persistence is defined as a positive test at two consecutive visits at least 4.5 months apart.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and tolerability of single-dose nonavalent HPV vaccination in women living with HIV.18 Months

This will be evaluated by comparing the occurrence of serious adverse events reported among each study arm.
