Abstract Background: HIV infection is a common risk for developing cervical cancer (CC). Routine screening for CC among women living with Human Immune Deficiency Virus (WLHIV) is recommended for early detection and control of pre-malignancies. Evidence on CC uptake and its associated factors is scanty among WLHIV in Tanzania similar to other sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. This study therefore aimed to assess the uptake of CC screening and its associated factors among WLHIV in Tanzania. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between June and September 2020 among WLHIV attending Care and Treatment Center (CTC) at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC). Data was collected through face to face interview using a pre-tested standardized questionnaire interviewed in Swahili. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics to establish the CC uptake and using regression analyses to characterize the CC screening uptake and factors associated with the CC uptake through SPSS version 23 software. Associations with P<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 341 WLHIV with mean age 45.6 years (SD 10.8) were recruited for interview. Of them, 184 (54%) WLHIV reported ever being screened for cervical cancer. After adjusting for confounders, knowledge of the screening methods was one of the factors associated with uptake of CC screening [AOR=15.61, (95% CI: 7.93-30.72), p<0.0001]. Other factors included living with HIV for at least 10 years since diagnosis [AOR=2.83; (95% CI: 1.11-7.26), P=0.030]; having knowledge of CC [AOR= 1.75, (95% CI: 1.02-3.01), p=0.041]; and having knowledge of the signs or symptoms of CC [AOR=1.95, (95% CI: 1.17-3.27), p=0.011]. Conclusion: More than four in ten WLHIV attending CTC at KCMC have never been screened for cervical cancer. Knowledge of the available screening methods, the disease condition, and duration since fist HIV diagnosis were associated with CC uptake of the screening. Addressing low CC screening uptake in Tanzania call strengthening WLHIV’s knowledge on cervical cancer screening methods, its signs, symptoms and their risk profiles. Moreover, strengthening CC screening capacity through integrated care and strengthening health providers’ capacity for counseling and screening will lead into a sustainable and effective care.

Background The most commonly diagnosed cancers among women are breast and cervical cancers, with cervical cancer being a relatively bigger problem in low and middle income countries (LMICs) than breast cancer. Methods The main aim of this study was to asses factors associated with and socioeconomic inequalities in breast and cervical cancer screening among women aged 15–64 years in Botswana. This study is part of the broad study on Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases in Botswana conducted (NCD survey) in 2016. The NCD survey was conducted across 3 cities and towns, 15 urban villages and 15 rural areas of Botswana. The survey collected information on several NCDs and risk factors including cervical and breast cancer screening. The survey adopted a multistage sampling design and a sample of 1178 participants (males and females) aged 15 years and above was selected in both urban and rural areas of Botswana. For this study, a sub-sample of 813 women aged 15–64 years was selected and included in the analysis. The inequality analysis was conducted using decomposition analysis using ADePT software version 6. Logistic regression models were used to show the association between socioeconomic variables and cervical and breast cancer screening using SPSS version 25. All comparisons were considered statistically significant at 5%. Results Overall, 6% and 62% of women reported that they were screened for breast and cervical cancer, respectively. Women in the poorest (AOR = 0.16, 95% CI = 0.06–0.45) and poorer (AOR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.14–0.96) wealth quintiles were less likely to report cervical cancer screening compared to women in the richest wealth quintile. Similarly, for breast cancer, the odds of screening were found to be low among women in the poorest (AOR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.06–0.68) and the poorer (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.13–0.81)) wealth quintiles. Concentration indices (CI) showed that cervical (CI = 0.2443) and breast cancer (CI = 0.3975) screening were more concentrated among women with high SES than women with low SES. Wealth status was observed to be the leading contributor to socioeconomic inequality observed for both cervical and breast cancer screening. Conclusions Findings in this study indicate the need for concerted efforts to address the health care needs of the poor in order to reduce cervical and breast cancer screening inequalities.
