HPV Vaccine's Long-Term power tested in rwandan women

NCT ID NCT05247853

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

Summary

This completed study looked at how well the HPV vaccine protects against HPV infections over time in over 3,000 Rwandan women aged 18-28, some living with HIV and some without. Researchers collected blood, oral, and other samples to measure vaccine effectiveness and long-term antibody levels. They also tested a low-cost, point-of-care antibody test to see if it can confirm HPV vaccination status.

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 confirm that the HPV vaccine provides long-lasting protection for women with HIV, and validate a cheap test to check vaccination status.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other populations, and the low-cost test might not be accurate enough.
