Can combining HPV tests with family planning save more women from cervical cancer?
NCT ID NCT05359016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This large study in Mozambique is testing whether offering HPV self-testing alongside voluntary family planning services increases the number of women who get screened for cervical cancer. Over 9,000 women aged 30–49 or living with HIV are taking part. The goal is to see if integrating these services works better than offering them separately.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining HPV self-testing with family planning services boosts screening rates and helps prevent cervical cancer in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures uptake and feasibility, not direct health outcomes. Results may not apply to other regions or populations.
