PROCEDURE

Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid

Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid is the application of acetic acid to a cervix, followed by examination with a light source. It is not a new drug or device, and has been used in resource-limited settings for several decades. The purpose of this trial is to compare the two screening techniques, which had not been done previously.

PROCEDURE

Visual Inspection with Lugol's Iodine

Visual Inspection with Lugol's Iodine is the application of lugol's iodine to a woman's cervix, followed by examination with a light source with the goal of detecting precancerous lesions. Like Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid, it is not a new drug or device.
