BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Nigerian women. Many affected are artisans in the informal work sector with poor access to breast cancer information, which hinder preventive and screening practices. Integrating breast cancer interventions into these HIV programs offers the potential to address the dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
OBJECTIVE: To assess HIV and breast cancer knowledge, screening practices, and the feasibility of implementing integrated programs among artisans in Ibadan, Nigeria.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among women in the informal work sector (artisans) in Ibadan, Nigeria.
METHODS: The study was conducted among 400 female artisans aged 25-65 years using multistage sampling technique. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data on knowledge of breast cancer and HIV. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at p < 0.05.
RESULTS: Of the 400 respondents, most (64.5%) had secondary level education or less. A quarter were aged ⩾40 years. Only 4.5% had a high level of knowledge about breast cancer compared to HIV (92.7%). One-tenth of the women had ever been screened for breast cancer using clinical breast examination, while the mammography rate for women aged ⩾40 years was 9.0%. In contrast, the proportion who had ever screened for HIV was 74%. Factors positively associated with breast cancer screening included higher education levels and religious affiliation. The majority (95.5%) expressed willingness to participate in integrated HIV and breast cancer interventions.
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate poor awareness of breast cancer signs/symptoms and screening practices. Integrated HIV and breast cancer programs may serve as a model and offer the potential to expand coverage and reduce missed opportunities for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
