Factors associated with uptake of gynaecological care and cervical cancer screening among women in the Swiss <scp>HIV</scp> Cohort Study
We found substantial disparities in the uptake of gynaecological visits and cervical smears by age, education level, ethnicity and intravenous drug use. Implementing more targeted and integrated cervical cancer screening and gynaecological care models may help reduce these disparities and improve prevention of cervical cancer among WWH in Switzerland.
