与普通人群相比，子宫颈癌在感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的妇女中更为常见。在所有感染艾滋病毒的国家中，这一数字很高--坦桑尼亚也不例外。尽管存在前所未有的风险，但艾滋病毒携带者(WLHIV)的女性可能没有意识到风险，并可能对此抱有毫无根据的信念。这项研究旨在确定在坦桑尼亚北部乞力马扎罗基督教医疗中心(KCMC)就诊的WLHIV患者中关于CC筛查的知识、意识和信念。这项基于医院的横断面研究是在KCMC的327名WLHIV护理和治疗诊所(CTC)进行的。使用预测问卷收集定量数据。使用SPSS版本23，采用描述性和回归方法确定WLHIV人群的CC知识、认知和信念以及与CC知识相关的因素。受试者的平均年龄为46±10.4岁。虽然只有一半(54.7%)的WLHIV对CC缺乏了解，但大多数参与者(83.5%)能够识别至少三个危险因素，但对症状和预防的了解有限。大多数人对CC和筛查做法持积极态度。与CC相关的因素包括已婚(AOR：3.66，95%CI：1.84~7.28)、使用抗逆转录病毒药物治疗至少2年(AOR：4.08，95%CI：1.36~12.21)、有CC筛查史(AOR：1.62，95%CI：1.01~2.59)。WLHIV护理治疗中心对CC筛查知识了解不足。为了在设施和社区层面进一步改善CC的筛查和治疗，有必要开展有针对性的宣传和教育活动。
Cervical cancer (CC) is more prevalent in women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection compared to the general population. The magnitude is high among all countries burdened with HIV—Tanzania is no exception. Despite the unprecedented risk, women living with HIV (WLHIV) may not be aware of the risk and might have unfounded beliefs thereof. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, awareness, and beliefs on CC screening among WLHIV attending a clinic at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Northern Tanzania. This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 327 WLHIV attending care and treatment clinic (CTC) at KCMC. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. Both descriptive and regression methods were used to determine CC knowledge, awareness, and beliefs as well as factors associated with knowledge of CC among WLHIV using SPSS version 23. Participants’ mean age was 46 ± 10.4 years. Although just half (54.7%) of WLHIV had insufficient knowledge of CC, the majority of the participants (83.5%) were able to recognize at least three risk factors, but with limited understanding of symptoms and prevention. The majority held positive beliefs on CC and screening practices. Factors associated with good knowledge of CC included being married (AOR: 3.66, 95% CI: 1.84–7.28), having used ART for at least 2 years (AOR: 4.08, 95% CI: 1.36–12.21), and having previously screened for CC (AOR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.01–2.59). WLHIV attending care and treatment center had insufficient knowledge about CC screening. To further improve screening and treatment for CC, at both facility and community levels, targeted awareness and education campaigns are warranted.
