3.4.1. Pilot Phase 
RECRUITMENT
To understand the dynamics of testing the tools, randomization, and recruitment procedures, and the specimen collection, handling, transportation, and storage before shipment to the central laboratory, it is important to pilot the tools. A three-day pilot of the tools could be conducted at Mukono General Hospital, Mukono District, which is not part of the study. We would aim to pretest 30 questionnaires among 15 HIV-infected women per arm. Per arm, three women would undergo HPV self-sampling and a visual inspection of the cervix under acetic acid (VIA) at the clinic and would also participate in an IDI. The main purpose of the pilot phase would be to test the tools, randomization, and recruitment procedures, and the specimen collection, handling, transportation, and storage before shipment to the central laboratory.
