Developing affordable cervical cancer screening and treatment for women with HIV in Brazil and Mozambique
Project 2
This study is working to find affordable and effective ways to screen, diagnose, and treat cervical cancer in women living with HIV in countries like Brazil and Mozambique, so they can get the care they need in their own communities.

What this research studies
This research aims to create sustainable infrastructure for addressing HIV-associated cancers, particularly cervical cancer, in low- and middle-income countries like Brazil and Mozambique. The project focuses on developing innovative, low-cost methods for screening, diagnosing, and treating cervical cancer in women living with HIV. By collaborating with experts in various fields, the research seeks to implement effective solutions that can be adapted to local healthcare settings. The approach includes multi-institutional studies to ensure comprehensive data collection and analysis.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are women living with HIV, particularly those in Brazil and Mozambique who are at risk for cervical cancer.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have HIV or are not at risk for cervical cancer may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve cervical cancer outcomes for women living with HIV in resource-limited settings.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in developing low-cost cancer screening methods in similar contexts, indicating potential for success in this approach.
