HPV self-testing to improve cervical cancer screening for women with HIV
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman living with HIV
- You are between 25 and 49 years old (or as recommended by Uganda's health guidelines)
- You have never had cervical cancer screening, or you are due for HPV testing now, or you had HPV testing before and need a follow-up, or you had treatment for cervical cell changes more than a year ago and haven't been screened since
- You attend a clinic that provides HIV care and antiretroviral therapy
- You have not had your cervix removed, are not pregnant or within 3 months after giving birth, have not been told you need follow-up for an abnormal screening that you didn't complete, and have never been treated for invasive cervical cancer
