HPV self-screening vs doctor screening for anal cancer in HIV
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares self-sampling (doing your own swab) to a healthcare professional doing the swab for HPV, a virus that can lead to anal cancer. It is for people with HIV on Réunion Island.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways to help women with HIV get screened for cervical cancer: a clinic-based approach versus a combined clinic and community outreach program. You may be able to provide samples yourself at a clinic or at home to test for HPV, the virus that can cause cervical cancer.
This trial compares two ways to help women living with HIV get screened for cervical cancer: one uses only clinic visits, the other adds community outreach and self-testing for HPV at home. It aims to increase screening rates and catch early signs of cervical cancer.
This study looks at whether getting the HPV vaccine along with regular cervical cancer screening (using an HPV test) can help prevent cervical cancer in women living with HIV. It is designed to be done as part of your usual HIV clinic visits, making it easier for you to take part.
This trial compares two ways to screen for HPV, a virus linked to anal cancer. People living with HIV will either collect their own sample or have a doctor do it, then switch methods. The goal is to see which is more comfortable and accurate.
This study looks at using a simple swab to screen for HPV (the virus that can cause anal cancer) in people living with HIV. By collecting a sample from the anal area, the study aims to find a less invasive way to check for risk, helping you avoid more uncomfortable procedures unless needed.
This study is looking at better ways to screen for anal cancer and its early warning signs in women living with HIV. Early detection could help prevent cancer from developing, so joining may help you get closer check-ups.
