This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new screening approach for cervical cancer in women living with HIV in Mozambique. Instead of going to a clinic for screening, women will learn how to collect their own sample at home using a simple vaginal swab to test for human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can cause cervical cancer. The study will see how many women get screened this way and how many receive treatment if their test is positive.
Cervical cancer is a serious health threat for women with HIV, but many women in Mozambique don't have easy access to regular screening. This trial aims to find out whether letting women screen themselves at home makes screening easier to reach and gets more women the care they need.

If you join, you'll meet with a study nurse who will ask some basic questions about your health and HIV status, then show you how to collect a sample from your vagina using a simple swab in a private location. Your sample will be tested for HPV, and if the test shows you need further care, the study team will help connect you with treatment. The study will track how many women complete screening and receive any needed follow-up care.
