NCT ID NCT07177170
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a single-visit approach to cervical cancer screening and treatment can reduce dropout rates among women living with HIV in Cameroon. Researchers will compare the current multi-visit system with a streamlined process that includes HPV testing and same-day treatment when needed. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, acceptable, and more effective at completing the full screening cascade.
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 a single-visit screening and treatment approach is feasible and acceptable, reducing dropout rates and improving cervical cancer prevention in resource-limited settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early implementation study, not a randomized trial, so results may not be generalizable. The approach may face logistical or cultural barriers, and long-term effectiveness is not yet proven.
