Innovative strategies are urgently needed to meet the World Health Organization’s 2030 target of treating 90% women with precancerous cervical lesions, especially in countries most affected by cancer. We assessed acceptability self-administered intravaginal therapies for precancer undergoing cancer screening and treatment Kenya. conducted a cross-sectional study among aged 18 65 years or between January October 2023 Kisumu County, Participants completed questionnaire about their perceptions...

Background: Cervical cancer continues to be a major health issue in low-and middleincome countries (LMICs).Despite increasing access screening, precancer treatment remains significant challenge LMICs, highlighting need for innovative, accessible and resource-appropriate approaches, including self-administered therapies. Methods:A cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted among men aged 25-65 with current female partner Kisumu County, Kenya.Participants were sequentially recruited...
Women in Africa disproportionately acquire human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Understanding which women are most likely to HIV-1 can guide focused prevention with preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Our objective was identify at the highest risk of and estimate PrEP efficiency different sensitivity levels. Nationally representative data were collected from 2015 through 2019 15 population-based household surveys. This analysis included aged 15-49 who tested seronegative or had recent...
