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

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.

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.
