" HIV infects and destroys CD4 T cells. Over time CD4 cell count goes down from 1000 cell/uL to below 50 cell/uL. Without treatment HIV can lead to AIDS. The CDC defines AIDS as the development of an AIDS-defining condition or a CD4 cell count less than 200 cells/μL in HIV-infected patients.

AIDS defining illness or conditions occurring with variable CD4+ cell count include tuberculosis, karposi sarcoma and cervical cancer. Less than 200cells/ uL include infections such as pneumocystis jiroveci, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Less than 100 cell/uL aids defining illnesses that manifest include crytococcus meningitis, cryptosporidiosis and cerebral toxoplasmosis. When CD4+ cell counts become less than 50, CMV infections, primary CNS lymphoma and mycobacterium avium complex infections can occur"

Loyce, from Zambia, was already living with HIV when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 2B. Although cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable through HPV vaccination and regular cervical screening, HIV positive women have a much higher chance of developing the disease.

The incidence of women living with both HIV and cervical cancer is greatest in low and middle-income countries, which is why educating HIV+ women on cervical cancer prevention methods is urgent.

Before Loyce was diagnosed with cervical cancer she experienced common symptoms, including vaginal bleeding. But she wants to remind women that HPV is often asymptomatic, so regular screening is important. Loyce is also a strong advocate of HPV vaccination for adolescent girls.

Thanks to national immunisation and screening programs, cervical cancer is on the brink of elimination In some parts of the world, yet it is still the most common cancer for women in Zambia.

In this powerful short film, Loyce shares a very clear message – cervical cancer prevention is better than cure. We must all urge for the upscale of HPV vaccination and cervical screenings for women in every country.

The Conquering Cancer Campaign is a global communications initiative celebrating every effort to eliminate cervical cancer around the world. Because a woman’s chance of surviving cervical cancer shouldn’t depend on where she resides.


Join the Conquering Cancer Campaign today and help us show leaders everywhere that eliminating cervical cancer is an achievable goal in every country.
