Objective:

To map the global research landscape, identify leading contributors and collaborative networks, and delineate the knowledge base and emerging research priorities in HIV-associated cervical cancer through bibliometric analysis, with a focus on molecular and immunological mechanisms.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Research output has increased steadily, led by the United States, followed by China, South Africa, India, and the United Kingdom.
    • The most productive journals include the International Journal of Cancer and AIDS, which are also among the most frequently cited.
    • The seminal reference is 'Cancer-related Inflammation.'
    • Emerging research frontiers focus on cervical cancer screening, WLWH, HPV vaccination, and deep learning.
    Interpretation:

    Future directions will likely emphasize lifecycle vaccination strategies for WLWH, precision therapies guided by the immune microenvironment, and scalable screening approaches for low-resource settings.

    Limitations:
    • The study is limited to English-language articles and reviews.
    • Research resources are unevenly distributed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
    Conclusion:

    The findings provide evidence-based insights to inform global health policy and accelerate cervical cancer elimination efforts.
