HPV self-testing for cervical cancer screening in women with HIV
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
