NCT ID NCT07209917

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a program called SAKHI HPV for women in India who have both HPV and HIV. The program provides support from community health workers, group sessions, and nutrition education to help women stay healthy and reduce their risk of cervical cancer. Researchers will compare this program to standard care in 348 women to see if it lowers persistent HPV infections.

Active substance
behavioral intervention (SAKHI HPV program with ASHA support, group sessions, and nutrition education)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could reduce persistent HPV infections and lower cervical cancer risk in women with HIV, offering a scalable prevention model.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so effects may be modest. The trial is relatively small (348 participants) and results may not apply to other regions.
