  1. Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with timely utilization of cervical cancer prevention services for women enrolled in comprehensive HIV care in western Kenya May Maloba, FACES Program EA-UCSF symposium, Jan 2014 Co –Authors: Margaret Mburu, Naila Abdulrahim.

  2. Background HPV HIV • The Kenya national antiretroviral therapy guidelines included cervical cancer screening and prevention (CCSP) as part of a minimum package of care for adult women living with HIV-AIDS • The Family AIDS Care and Education Services (FACES) program introduced CCSP in 2012 for all women enrolled in HIV-care in the Ministry of Health (MoH) facilities in five districts in Nyanza Province. • To determine factors associated with timely utilization of CCSP services following enrollment into HIV care.

  3. Methodology • Women screened between March,2013 and Sept,2013 in the 5districts in Nyanza • Screening was performed using visual inspection with acetic (VIA) acid and Lugol’s iodine (VILI); women with positive results were referred for cryotherapy at the closest District Hospital. • Time between enrollment into care and screening was measured, defining timely utilization of CCSP as screening within three months of enrollment. • Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with timely screening after enrollment.

  4. Results • 416 women newly enrolled into HIV care screened • March 2012 and September 2013. • 307 (73.8%) were screened within three months of enrollment; median time to screening was 1 month • Women in partnered relationships and those who traveled >30 minutes to the clinic were less likely to screen early

  5. Conclusion • Research is required to determine if male partner involvement increases timely utilization of CCSP services. • More efforts are needed to decentralize CCSP services
