What this research studies

If you have HIV, this project will try different ways clinics and programs offer cervical cancer screening and follow-up so more people get care. The team will work with health sites and partners to pilot and refine those approaches based on how easy they are to use and how well they reach patients. They will combine real-world delivery tests with feedback from providers and patients to pick strategies that last over time. The goal is to find practical, sustainable ways to increase guideline-based prevention where coverage is currently low.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: People living with HIV who are eligible for cervical cancer screening and receive care at participating clinics or health programs would be ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People who do not have HIV, those already up to date on screening, or individuals outside participating locations may not directly benefit from this project.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, more people living with HIV could receive regular cervical cancer screening and preventive treatment, lowering the risk of advanced cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Some implementation efforts have improved screening uptake, but using intervention optimization alongside implementation science for cervical cancer prevention is relatively new.
