Cervical Cancer Prevention for WLHIV: Inaction today leads to higher costs tomorrow- in both lives and resources.

Across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, women living with HIV continue to face a silent and unequal burden of cervical cancer, despite the availability of effective prevention, screening, and treatment services. The gap is not in science, but in access, integration, and accountability. We want to amplify the urgency for action. We unpack missed opportunities within HIV care platforms, the systemic gaps that delay diagnosis, and the human cost of fragmented services. 

HSPN calls for bold, coordinated, and equity-driven responses that place women at the centre of care. At HSPN, we believe that integrated, person-centred health systems are not optional; they are essential. Every missed screening, every delayed diagnosis, and every preventable death is a failure we can no longer afford.

The time to act is now!
