The Impact of an Educational Program on Cervical Cancer Knowledge Among HIV-Positive Women in Bali, Indonesia
Our study for the first-time documented that a significant proportion of women who attend HIV clinics in Bali are diagnosed with ASCUS+ and HR-HPVs which put them at high risk for developing CC. It would have been possible to prevent the development of ASCUS+ in at least 70% of those women if 9V HPV vaccine was given to these women. Since all 200 women educated by our program consented for screening, we clearly demonstrated that HIV+ women attending HIV clinics can be successfully educated to participate in CC screening.
