Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two ways to screen for HPV (human papillomavirus) — a virus that can cause anal cancer — in people living with HIV. It looks at whether people can accurately screen themselves using a swab versus having a healthcare professional do it. The study focuses on socially vulnerable people and uses a crossover design, meaning all participants try both methods. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 30 and 65 years old - You are in a socially vulnerable situation (receiving government or charitable social support) - You live in one of the two target areas covered by the study - You are supported by social services in those areas - You have attended sexual health awareness sessions offered at the site **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not wish to participate - You have had a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
