Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in Ethiopian women, following breast cancer, and it is about six times more common in Human Immune Virus (HIV) infected women. Cervical cancer screening provides protective advantages and is linked to a decrease in the incidence of invasive cervical cancer and mortality. However, participation in cervical cancer screening is quite low in developing country. There was insufficient data on the uptake of this service, particularly among HIV-infected women in eastern Ethiopia.
