NCT ID NCT06182241

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study in South Africa works with women who have HIV and abnormal Pap results to find out why some don't follow up for cervical cancer care. Researchers will interview patients and providers, then create a short counseling and navigation program. They will test if the program is practical and acceptable in a small pilot study with 60 women.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a practical program that helps women with HIV complete cervical cancer treatment, improving survival rates.
