Brief Title: Cervical Cancer Screening by Self-sampling in a Cohort of Younger Women in Ethiopia
Official Title: Evaluation of an Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Based Screening Algorithm for Low and Middle Income Countries, by Self-sampling in Ethiopia
Study ID: NCT05125380
Brief Summary: The overall purpose of the project is to evaluate an algorithm for an HPV self-sampling based cervical cancer screening algorithm in a mid-size town in Ethiopia that could be applicable for nationwide implementation in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Specific aims are the following: * To evaluate the algorithm using Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) and VIA together with Lugol's Iodine (VILI) as triage and to use HPV self-sample to follow up those treated and those with persisting HPV. * To evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other STIs in the cohort. * To determine immune response profiles in high-risk HPV-positive women who cleared, persisted, or developed Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2/3 (CIN). * To assess how specific cervicovaginal microbiota compositions are associated with HPV infection, cervical dysplasia, and cancer
