Impact of healthcare access and HIV testing on utilization of cervical cancer screening among US women at high risk of HIV infection: Cross-sectional analysis of 2016 BRFSS data
BMJ Open Jan 14, 2020
Zhang D, et al. - Researchers design a nationwide cross-sectional survey in the United States to determine the association of cervical cancer screening with healthcare access and HIV testing among women at a high risk of HIV infection. A total of 3,448 females with a history of high-risk behaviors correlated with HIV infection were enrolled. A total of 2,911 high-risk women completed cervical cancer screenings. Factors reflecting healthcare access, especially clinical check-up and health coverage, and history of HIV testing were correlated with cervical cancer screening. According to the researchers, targeted interventions are warranted to further increase cervical cancer screening in females at high risk of HIV infection.
