Preventing cervical cancer in women with HPV and HIV in India
Secondary Cervical Cancer Prevention of Vulnerable Women with HPV and HIV Co-infection in India
This study is working to help women in India who have both HPV and HIV by providing support with nutrition, emotional health, and education, all aimed at making it easier for them to get screened for cervical cancer and improve their overall well-being.

What this research studies
This research focuses on improving cervical cancer prevention among women in India who are co-infected with HPV and HIV. It aims to address the lack of HPV screening and the negative impact of stigma, depression, and malnutrition on immune health. The study will implement a community health worker-led intervention that includes nutritional support, emotional assistance, and education to enhance the well-being of these women. By evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, the research seeks to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in this vulnerable population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are women in India who are co-infected with HPV and HIV and are at risk for cervical cancer.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have HPV or HIV, or those who are not located in India, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly lower the rates of cervical cancer among women living with HIV and HPV in India.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar interventions aimed at improving health outcomes for women living with HIV.
