Pocket colposcopy for women with positive HPV test
Part of Cancer, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new, smaller device called a pocket colposcope to look at the cervix (the opening of the womb) in women who have had a positive HPV test. The goal is to see if this simpler tool can help find cell changes that might lead to cancer, so you can get treatment sooner.

This study offers a way to screen for cervical cancer using an HPV self-test. It is designed for women who may not have had a recent Pap smear and are from certain minority groups.
This trial tests two cervical screening approaches to find early signs of HPV-related changes. It may help by improving how results are sorted into “needs follow-up” versus “routine care,” especially for women with different HPV patterns.
This trial studies whether letting people collect their own HPV test sample (a private, at-home option) makes cervical cancer screening easier for people with HIV and/or those who are often underserved. If you’ve declined a Pap test or it’s been 6+ months since your last screening, this may offer a more convenient way to check for HPV and cervical cancer risk.
This study tests different ways to screen for HPV (a virus linked to cervical cancer) in women living with HIV. The goal is to find the best, most practical screening approach to catch cervical problems early.
This trial tests whether a special pad you wear during your period can detect signs of cervical precancer. If you are already scheduled for a colposcopy due to an abnormal Pap or HPV test, you might be able to participate.
This study looks at doing a diagnostic cervical conization (a cone-shaped tissue biopsy) when HPV remains persistent and there are warning signs, but initial pathology does not show precancer. It aims to find hidden precancer earlier or better understand HPV-related changes that were missed.
