Summary

Moffitt Cancer Center is the Coordinating Center for this study. The purpose of this study is to develop and test the infrastructure to conduct a future Phase III vaccine efficacy trial to assess trial feasibility, and to assess human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution, data needed to design a Phase III trial. The investigators propose to conduct a Preparedness study among women ages 16-24 years of age residing in a region of South Africa with a high human immunodeficiency (HIV) incidence and prevalence. The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Identify, recruit, enroll, and randomize a cohort of HIV negative women (200 per arm, 400 total) ages 16-24 years to an HPV vaccine against 4 types (HPV 6, 11, 16, 18 [Gardasil]) or placebo vaccine. 2. Determine the cervical HPV prevalence and type distribution at enrollment, and cervical lesion prevalence among young females ages 16-24 years at high risk for HIV infection. 3. Assess the rate of compliance through the 3-dose vaccination series
