A retrospective review of cervical smears in Human Immunodeficiency Virus infected postnatal women at Johannesburg HospitalWise, Amy Juliet 16 March 2011 (has links)
MMed(Obstetrics and Gynaecology) / Introduction
Against the high background rate of HIV among our antenatal clinic attendees, 30.3% in
Gauteng in 2007, and the importance of cancer of the cervix as a health issue; this study was
undertaken to determine the rate of abnormality found in cervical smears performed on HIV
positive women attending the postnatal clinic at Johannesburg Hospital. The degree of
abnormality and where possible its management, was reviewed. Secondly it was determined
whether the immune status, namely the WHO clinical stage, CD4 cell count and viral load,
correlated with the Pap smear results. Lastly patients were also analyzed according to the
treatment received for HIV and their Pap smear results.
Patients and Methods
The study is a retrospective record review. All the patients who attended the postnatal clinic
(PNC) between October 2005 and the end of July 2006, who had a Pap smear, were included.
Follow-up test results were collected to the end of June 2007. A total of 324 patients attended the
clinic in the study time period, of which 248 (76.5%) had a Pap smear done and 76 (23.5%) did
not.
iv
Results
The main results of interest were as follows – 131 patients (52.8%) had normal Pap smears,
64(25.8%) had LGSIL, 32 (12.9%) had HGSIL, 10 (4.0%) had ASCUS and 11 (4.4%) had Pap
smears that could not be classified. In total 47.2% of the Pap smears were abnormal. There was
one case of malignancy developing after an abnormal Pap smear. Patients with abnormal Pap
smears tended to have a lower mean CD4 cell count while the viral load and WHO Stage did not
appear to have an impact on the final analysis of the Pap smears.
Conclusion
The rates of cervical abnormality in HIV sero-positive patients attending the Johannesburg
Hospital postnatal clinic are much higher (47.2%) than would be expected in the general
population (10%), with a significant portion requiring follow-up investigation and management.
It is however preferable to deal with cervical cytological abnormalities comprehensively during
the screening phase rather than trying to manage a potential increase in cervical cancer cases.

Embodied subjectivities : exploring the stories of HIV-positive African women through body mapping and narrative theory.Olmesdahl, James. January 2008 (has links)
This qualitative research project attempts to consider how HIV-infected African women position themselves, through the stories that they tell, within the dominant discourses of HIV in contemporary South Africa. The research is couched within the theoretical framework of social constructionism which upholds that there are no absolute truths but rather that individuals inhabit
different 'realities' and possess different 'knowledges' relative to their social and cultural context. In this view language is the medium through which discursive practices inscribe identities with meanings. Seen through a Foucauldian lens, these discursive practices, in the case of South Africa,
operate as forms of surveillance and social control to 'silence' those living with HIV. Through cultural and patriarchal norms operating in conjunction with the racialising legacy left by apartheid, women, particularly African women, have come to be the group most infected with HIV. Despite their often-difficult circumstances, narrative research has shown that, through acts of storytelling, many African women are able to construct positive versions of their lives. Using body mapping in conjunction with narrative interviewing, a small group of African women of varying ages and from diverse locations, but all belonging to a single Durban-based HIV support group, were asked to tell stories about their lives and how their experiences of themselves had been
impacted by HIV. Their body maps and stories showed that, while dominant discourses about HIV/AIDS do function to limit their positions for positive self-definition, these women also produced counter-narratives that resisted some of the discrediting social constructions of the illness. Four dimensions relating to self in time, self in relation to others, HIV as a disruptive event, and spiritual beliefs and morality were found to be operating in their narratives. In addition, a fifth dimension, looking at how research practices themselves are 'situated' and construct 'subjects' in particular ways was considered and this called on 'the researcher' to deconstruct the subject positions of his (in this case) own discursive positioning. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.
