Summary

This trial aims to increase cervical cancer screening & treatment for women living with HIV in Nigeria, improving health & life expectancy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women living with HIV in certain low- and middle-income countries. It aims to improve cervical cancer screening and treatment by using existing HIV care infrastructure.
What is being tested?
The ACCESS study compares two approaches: 'Core' strategies versus 'Core+' enhanced strategies, to integrate cervical cancer screen-and-treat services into HIV programs, assessing effectiveness through a cluster randomized design.
What are the potential side effects?
