First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates different cervical cancer screening methods using HPV testing in Botswana, involving 3000 women aged 25 and older. Researchers compare HPV genotype restriction with visual inspection to find the most accurate way to detect high-grade cervical dysplasia. The goal is to improve screening, especially for women living with HIV, and make it more feasible in low-resource settings.
