Background

• Anogenital condyloma acuminata (CA) is a benign lesion caused by low-risk HPV.

• A subset of lesions can progress histopathologically, and HIV-related immunosuppression may change their course.

Methods

• Retrospective cross-sectional study of 224 patients with histopathologically confirmed CA at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung (2023–2024).

• Clinical, pathological, and sexual behavior data analysed with chi-square/Fisher tests and logistic regression.

Key Results

• 87 patients (38.8%) were HIV-positive.

• Bisexual orientation, lesion duration over 6 months, and lesion location were independent predictors of HIV positivity.

• Histopathological progression occurred in 13 patients (5.8%), including two squamous cell carcinomas.

Discussion & Conclusion

• HIV is highly prevalent among patients with CA.

• Routine histopathological evaluation is essential to detect malignant potential early.
