Conditions: Cervical Cancer, Hiv

Sex: Female
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 80
Sponsor: Boston University Charles River Campus

Location: Massachusetts General Hospital Boston Massachusetts

Summary

The investigators will conduct the formative work that is necessary to develop a novel, multi-level intervention (inclusive of patient- and provider-level components), which will increase awareness of and modify the complex, intersecting factors that contribute to cervical cancer development among cisgender women with HIV (WWH). In Aim 1a, the investigators will explore the multi-level barriers and facilitators to follow-up appointment attendance among WWH who have had a recent high-risk abnormal Pap smear in the past six months, via qualitative interviews with WWH who have either attended at least one follow-up visit (n\

Eligibility Criteria

Aim 1 criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * Having a cervix * Aged 18+ * Living with HIV * Recent high-risk abnormal Pap results within the last month (if needed, we may increase the range by up to 6 months to ensure that we meet our targets). Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 18 years old * HIV-negative * No cervix/history of hysterectomy * Recent normal or low-risk abnormal Pap results * Unable to provide informed consent or assent in English or isiZulu and/or have a significant psychiatric illness (e.g., active psychotic disorder or untreated bipolar disorder) that could interfere with participation will be excluded. Potential participants will also be asked if they have any health conditions that make it difficult for them to travel to the clinic. Aim 3 criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * Having a cervix * Aged 18+ * Living with HIV * Recent Pap smear test (within the past two months). Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 18 years old * HIV-negative * No cervix/history of hysterectomy * Unable to provide informed consent in English or isiZulu and/or have a significant psychiatric illness (e.g., active psychotic disorder or untreated bipolar disorder) that could interfere with participation will be excluded. Potential participants will also be asked if they have any health conditions that make it difficult for them to travel to the clinic.
