Anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and HPV-related neoplasia are very frequent among HIV-1 infected individuals. Studies show that antiretroviral (cART) therapy has brought about no reduction in the incidence of HPV-associated precancerous and cancerous lesions in this population. The cases of two HIV-positive patients who, respectively, presented perianal condylomatosis lesions and erythematous-papular-ulcerative lesions on the prepuce during antiretroviral therapy are described. The histopathological diagnosis, in both cases, was HPV-related bowenoid cancer.
