NCT ID NCT06800664

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study tests a program to help women living with HIV in Ghana get screened for cervical cancer more easily. The program includes self-sampling kits, patient navigators, and training for healthcare providers. Researchers want to see if these tools increase screening rates and can be adopted by local clinics.

Active substance

behavioral intervention (self-sampling, 3R model, patient navigators, and implementation support strategies)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make cervical cancer screening more accessible and routine for women with HIV in Ghana, potentially reducing cancer deaths in this high-risk group.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a direct treatment trial. Success depends on healthcare system adoption, and results may not apply to other regions or populations.
