Abstract

Goal. to form a point of view on the expediency, amount of doses, and vaccination schemes for HIV carriers by analyzing scientific articles. Materials and methods. the literature review includes an analysis of scientific papers from the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, eLibrary, CyberLeninka and GoogleScholars, using the search terms "HIV", "HPV", "vaccination". 
Results. Carriers of HIV infection, even when receiving antiretroviral therapy, have an increased risk of contracting the human papillomavirus, and progression to malignant complications occurs much faster. Important factors are: CD4 levels in the body, viral load, vaccination schedule, and the presence of concomitant gynecological diseases. A mixed vaccination schedule with an initial dose of Cervarix is one of the priorities that promotes more active antibody production; such schemes are safe and effective. 
Conclusion. For successful antibody production, a low number of viral particles is required, and alternative vaccination schedules are required to maintain high antibody titers. Combinations of several HPV vaccines and mandatory hepatitis B vaccination contribute to a better immune response. The Cervarix vaccine was more active in producing antibodies than the Gardasil vaccine. This issue remains more relevant than ever for HIV-carriers. 
Keywords: HPV vaccination, immune response, HIV transmission, antibody production, vaccination regimen.
