Screen-Triage-Treat cervical cancer screening using self-collected HPV testing for women in HIV care
Official title: A Hybrid Type III Effectiveness - Implementation, Pragmatic Intervention Trial for Cervical Cancer Screen and Treat in Mozambique
Run by Tulane University · NCT06810739 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project tests whether a self-collected HPV test and streamlined triage and treatment approach can be scaled up for women aged 25-49 in Mozambique who are receiving HIV care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 25-49 who are in HIV care, have a cervix, are not pregnant, and can provide a self-collected vaginal swab.
✕Probably not a fit
Pregnant women, postpartum within 6 weeks, women without a cervix, or those unable to participate due to impairment may not benefit.

What this trial studies
The study uses an implementation-focused design to test a Screen-Triage-Treat approach for cervical cancer screening within HIV services in Mozambique. It will measure how many women are screened and how many screen-positive individuals receive treatment, while also gathering qualitative data on barriers and facilitators. The analysis will occur under real-world conditions to inform scaling across the country if successful. A mixed-methods approach will combine quantitative screening/treatment data with stakeholder insights. The study is led by Tulane University with NCI/NIH collaboration and will partner with University Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could increase cervical cancer screening and treatment coverage among women in HIV care, potentially reducing cancer burden.
How similar studies have gone: Previous implementations of HPV-based screening with self-collection have shown feasibility; this study advances on-doing in Mozambique within HIV services.
