Home HPV Testing vs Clinic Visits for Cervical Cancer Screening in Women With HIV
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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.
