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

This study looks at HPV infection and the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina in women with HIV. It aims to understand how these factors affect health and may guide future prevention or treatment.
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 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 study aims to make cervical cancer screening easier and more accessible for women living with HIV. Researchers will test new ways to help women get screened and receive follow-up care at three clinics across the United States.
