A Counseling Mobile App to Reduce the Psychosocial Impact of Human Papillomavirus Testing: Formative Research Using a User-Centered Design Approach in a Low-Middle-Income Setting in Argentina

In Argentina, the prevalence of high-risk HPV among screened women is around 13% [5]. HPV-positive women with negative triage will require rescreening in 12/18 months. Thus, infection with an oncogenic type of HPV can be detected, but positivity does not necessarily mean that the infection will cause cancer or that the woman will require treatment. These particular characteristics of HPV results may have a negative impact on the psychosocial health of tested women [6,7].

The Relationship Between Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections and Environmental Factors in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina: Cross-Sectional Study

Argentina has a heterogeneous prevalence of STHs (between 0% and 88.9%) throughout the country, and the northeast and northwest provinces of Misiones, Chaco, or Salta are identified as endemic [12-16], with varying rates of infection depending on socioeconomic status, sanitary and environmental conditions, and access to water [16-19]. Despite its high prevalence of STHs, Argentina does not currently have a deworming program as approved by the World Health Assembly (WHA) through resolution WHA54.19 [20].

Developing SMS Content to Promote Papanicolaou Triage Among Women Who Performed HPV Self-collection Test: Qualitative Study

In Argentina, 34% of HPV-positive women who performed SC at home during a CHW’s visit completed follow-up within 120 days after screening [14,15]. Studies that have analyzed adherence to different follow-up steps after abnormal cytology [15-18] showed that the delivery of test results presented an obstacle: women either did not receive or did not pick up the test results.
