ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the relationship between HPV (human papillomavirus) infections, the health of the genital area, and changes in cervical cells in women of childbearing age in China. The aim is to better understand how these factors are connected, which could help in managing HPV-related health issues.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be women aged between 18 and 62 who have had sexual intercourse and are not currently on their period. They should not have had certain medical treatments or surgeries recently, and they should not have been vaccinated for HPV. If you join the trial, you can expect to undergo a thinprep cytologic test, which is a type of screening to check for abnormalities in cervical cells. This research is still recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute valuable insights into women's health regarding HPV and cervical conditions.
