This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a program called SAKHI designed to help prevent cervical cancer in women who have both HIV and HPV infections. The program includes eight group education sessions led by nurses and doctors, weekly one-on-one support from trained counselors, and classes teaching practical life skills. Researchers will compare this intensive program to a simpler standard care approach to see which one better prevents HPV from persisting in the body—a key step toward preventing cervical cancer.
Women living with HIV are at much higher risk for cervical cancer, especially when they also have HPV infection. While screening can detect problems early, many women in India don't have good access to education and support to prevent HPV persistence or manage their overall health. This study aims to see if a comprehensive, supportive education program can reduce that risk.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the SAKHI program or the standard care program. The SAKHI program involves attending eight group classes over six months (covering topics like staying healthy, nutrition, and managing stress), meeting weekly with a counselor one-on-one, and participating in free life skills classes. The standard care group will attend three shorter group sessions covering similar topics. Both groups will have blood tests done at several points during the study to check your HIV health and nutrition levels.
