Summary

A cross-sectional survey will be conducted among 200 volunteering women aged 18- 45 years and having had prior sexual activity living in the target villages of Itilima and Maswa districts, North-western Tanzania. A single midday urine sample and two cervical-vaginal swabs (both self-collected and speculum-aided collected by a female healthcare worker) will be obtained from participating women and processed using urine filtration and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for cervico-vaginal samples. A pre-tested structure questionnaire will be used to collect sociodemographic, clinical, and sampling acceptability information from participants.
