“…The EVA® device was another unique device which was a custom adaptation to a Samsung® Galaxy smartphone housed in a case that features additional magnification, stabilizer, optics, and attachable stand. Although this device uses a standard smartphone as an integrated component, it closely resembles a colposcope in capability and is referred to as digital colposcopy in two studies ( Goldstein et al, 2020 , Peterson et al, 2016 , Thay et al, 2019 , Gabaza et al, 2019 , Gharabaghi et al, 2019 , Oyiengo et al, 2018 , Rahatgaonkar et al, 2020 , Singhakum et al, 2018 , Srinivas et al, 2021 , Medical doctors, 2021 , Asgary et al, 2016 ).…”

The East Africa Consortium was formed to study the epidemiology of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and cervical cancer and the influence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on HPV and cervical cancer, and to encourage collaborations between researchers in North America and East African countries. To date, studies have led to a better understanding of the influence of HIV infection on the detection and persistence of oncogenic HPV, the effects of dietary aflatoxin on the persistence of HPV, the benefits of antiretroviral therapy on HPV persistence, and the differences in HPV detections among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected women undergoing treatment for cervical dysplasia by either cryotherapy or LEEP. It will now be determined how HPV testing fits into cervical cancer screening programs in Kenya and Uganda, how aflatoxin influences immunological control of HIV, how HPV alters certain genes involved in the growth of tumours in HIV-infected women. Although there have been challenges in performing this research, with time, this work should help to reduce the burden of cervical cancer and other cancers related to HIV infection in people living in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as optimized processes to better facilitate research as well as patient autonomy and safety.
