Ciheb Zambia Limited

Ciheb Zambia has implemented an integrated cervical cancer screening programme for women living with HIV (WLHIV) as part of comprehensive HIV care services in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. The project focused on increasing access to early cervical cancer screening through communitybased differentiated service delivery and strengthening referral pathways for women requiring further diagnosis and treatment. Ciheb Zambia has extensive experience delivering integrated HIV and cervical cancer (CxCa) prevention services for women at high risk of HIV infection. Through our community-based differentiated service delivery model, we support the Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and sexual and reproductive health services to female sex workers (FSWs) through established community-based drop-in centres (DICs). Our CxCa programme provides routine screening using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and/or HPV DNA testing, where available, for women living with HIV accessing services at DICs. Women with positive screening results are promptly referred and linked to MOH facilities for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, while those with negative results receive prevention counselling and guidance on routine rescreening. We do community screening of high risk policy female sex workers and transgender people
