Screened positive lesion on VIA as a primary screening test. 5. Women with a significant acetowhite lesion on colposcopy with screen positive on HPVDNA as a primary screening test. 6. Women with cervical growth on per speculum examination. 7. Women with suspicious erosion on VIA screening test or colposcopy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Quantification of p16 INK4A protein levels in healthy cervical samples. 2. Quantification of p16 INK4A protein levels in precancerous lesions and determination of fold dif- ference as compared to the healthy samples. 3. Standardization set for the proposed p16 LaF under development.Timepoint: Quarterly for 2 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Attitude and perception towards cervical cancer screening in community. 2. Prevalence of oncogenic HPV type 16, type 18 and other High-risk types in the community. 3. Prevalence of oncogenic HPV type 16, type 18 and other High-risk types in precancerous and can- cerous lesion positive for p16. 4. Prevalence of p16 in VIA negative women (understand the false positives) on Pap smear. 5. Prevalence of p16 levels in abnormal Pap smears collected as a triage test for women positive on VIA 6. Concordance between HPVDNA-PCR testing, Pap smears and P16 levels in benign, precancerous and cancerous lesions. 7. Prevalence of p16 levels in squamous metaplasia. 8. Correlation of P16 levels in squamous metaplasia to Pap test, HPVDNA test and Swede score on colposcopy.Timepoint: Quarterly for 2 years
