What this research studies

You would be part of a program that tests and compares different ways health systems can deliver cervical cancer prevention to people living with HIV. The team will narrow down promising approaches, add information about how easy they are to put into practice, and then identify the set that work well and last over time. The project uses partnerships between institutions and clinics to try these methods where prevention coverage is low. This work combines intervention optimization with implementation science to find practical, scalable solutions.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: People living with HIV who are eligible for cervical cancer screening or preventive care, especially those served by participating clinics or health programs, would be ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People who are not living with HIV or who already receive complete guideline-based cervical cancer prevention may not benefit directly from this project.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, more people with HIV could get timely screening and prevention, which could lower cervical cancer cases and deaths.

How similar studies have performed: Other implementation approaches have raised uptake of health services in the past, but applying intervention optimization to cervical cancer prevention for people with HIV is relatively new.
