Optimization of Cervical Cancer Screening Strategies Among Women Living With HIV: Effectiveness and Implementation of Decentralized Approach Using a Mobile Team With HPV Testing in the Western Region of Cameroon

"A mobile team consisting of one or two midwives and a lab technician with a Genexpert platform visits the health centres on a regular basis.~After informed consent is granted, participants perform a vaginal self-sample, which is immediately analyzed with the Genexpert plateform. Participants who test HPV positive are invited for immediate triage and treatment if required."

Self-collected samples are sent to a reference laboratory for HPV testing. Results are communicated to the participants and HPV positive women are invited to go to the reference centre where triage and treatment (when required) are performed.
