The study confirms the significant burden of cervical neoplasia in WLHIV and demonstrates the feasibility and importance of integrating HPV screening and 'see and treat' services within or near existing ART centres using portable technologies. Leveraging the extensive NACP network offers a strategic opportunity for nationwide implementation, crucial for cervical cancer elimination efforts in this high-risk population.
