Cervical Pre-cancer Treatment Failure Among Women Living With HIV in Zimbabwe

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this observational study is to improve cervical pre-cancer treatment outcomes among women living with HIV (WLWH), particularly in low and middle income countries (LMICs), by generating the evidence needed for post-treatment monitoring guidelines. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the risk of disease recurrence/persistence after cervical pre-cancer treatment among women living with HIV in Zimbabwe? * What is the predictive value of different human papillomavirus (HPV) and DNA methylation testing strategies for monitoring cervical disease recurrence/persistence after pre-cancer treatment? Participants will have cervical biopsies taken for histological assessment and cervical samples for HPV genotyping and DNA methylation testing. Researchers will follow all participating women every six months for 24 months to evaluate post-treatment monitoring and cervical disease outcomes.
