Cross-sectional evaluation of a peer educator-led empowerment initiative for improving participation in cervical precancer screening among female sex workers in Ghana
Our study underscores the urgent need for comprehensive and targeted interventions to reduce the burden of hr-HPV and the potential for cervical precancer/cancer among FCSWs in Ghana. We further highlight the importance of promoting continuous condom use among FCSWs during interactions with patrons and considering HIV status in the development and implementation of cervical precancer screening programs for FCSWs.
