Abstract | |||
The AIS study is a longitudinal study designed to evaluate the role of host immune responses to HPV in the presence, persistence, and progression of HPV infection and its associated lesions. The study, part of a larger effort to evaluate various triage strategies for the management of equivocal and low-grade cervical neoplasia, consists of 5066 women recruited at four clinical sites throughout the United States. |
