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 study compares two ways to screen women with HIV for cervical cancer: using a self-collection test at home versus visiting a clinic. The goal is to make cervical cancer screening easier and reach more women who might otherwise skip it.
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 tests a self-collected anal swab for detecting HPV (the virus that can cause anal cancer) in people living with HIV. It aims to see if this simple swab is as accurate as a doctor-collected sample, and may help prevent anal cancer.
This study checks for early signs of anal cancer in women with HIV. It could help find problems before they become serious.
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.
