Integrating Cervical Cancer Screening and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Care among Women Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Call for Action

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in women living with human immunodeficiency virus (WLHIV) worldwide. However, there is no nationwide public health policy in India that aims to prevent cervical cancer among WLHIV. Thus, the integration of cervical cancer preventive services within existing HIV care programs is essential. This study proposes a framework for healthcare providers and policymakers to enhance the integration of cervical cancer screening services within existing HIV care programs in India. This aims to improve access to early detection and treatment of cervical cancer among WLHIV, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality.
