Cervical cancer screening and treatment of VIA positive lesions among women living with HIV in Nairobi and Kajiado counties, Kenya: results from a targeted intervention implemented under the USAID Fahari ya Jamii project in supported HIV clinics
The intervention increased cervical cancer screening and treatment uptake for VIA positive lesions among WLHIV by integrating services into routine HIV care, enhancing provider training, and ensuring the availability of screening supplies. These findings highlight the potential for scaling up similar strategies in resource-limited settings. Sustained mentorship and continuous monitoring will be essential to further strengthen screening and treatment efforts toward cervical cancer elimination.
