Impact of Cryotherapy Versus Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) on Recurrence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and HIV-1 Cervical Shedding Among HIV-positive Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) and Cryotherapy for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Completed, enrolled 400 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among HIV-positive women receiving cryotherapy versus LEEP over 2 years of follow-up and to compare the shedding of HIV-1 from the cervix between HIV-positive women receiving cryotherapy versus LEEP over 3 weeks of follow-up.

Interventions
LEEP procedure uses a low-voltage electrified wire loop to cut out diseased part of cervix
Cryotherapy procedure involves using a cryoprobe and carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide gas to freeze the diseased part of the cervix
