Cervical cancer is preventable and curable if detected early and managed effectively. In Zambia, it is the fourth-most common form of cancer among women ages 15-49 years. Women living with HIV (WLWH) are six times more likely than those who are HIV-negative to develop cervical cancer and should be targeted for screening and treatment (Dryden-Peterson S, et al, 2016:34).
The USAID Supporting an AIDS-Free Era (SAFE) program supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) in conducting cervical cancer screening and treatment services targeting WLWH in 21 program-supported sites in the Central Province. This poster was presented at the AIDS 2022 Conference in Montreal.
We strive to build lasting relationships to produce better health outcomes for all.
