Barriers and facilitators to the integration of cervical cancer screening and treatment service with antiretroviral therapy follow-up clinics for women living with HIV in Northwest Ethiopia: a qualitative study

Integrating cervical cancer screening with HIV care in Northwest Ethiopia encounters substantial obstacles, including facility limitations, clinician training deficits, motivational issues, policy gaps, and a lack of evidence. However, accessible services, the VIA method's simplicity, and existing staff training provide opportunities for successful integration. Addressing these barriers and leveraging facilitators is crucial to improve integrated service delivery and reduce related mortality among WLHIV.

Abstract

Integrating cervical cancer screening with HIV care in Northwest Ethiopia encounters substantial obstacles, including facility limitations, clinician training deficits, motivational issues, policy gaps, and a lack of evidence. However, accessible services, the VIA method's simplicity, and existing staff training provide opportunities for successful integration. Addressing these barriers and leveraging facilitators is crucial to improve integrated service delivery and reduce related mortality among WLHIV.
