Zusammenfassung:Methodology: A review of hospital records of all patients aged 13-35 years presenting with Cancer of the Cervix regardless of HIV status at time of diagnosis in the period 2012 - 2019 of the study and purposive active recruitment of same age set in the 2020-2021period. Evidence suggests an aetiological role of risk factor exposures in early life and young adulthood [13]. Since the mid-20th century, substantial multigenerational changes in the exposome have occurred, including changes in diet, lifestyle, obesity, environment and the micro biome, all of which might interact with genomic and/or genetic susceptibilities [13]. In respect to the above, this study's objective was to investigate the increase in incidences of Early Onset cancer of the cervix in HIV-VE women coming to the oncology clinic at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital. Materials and Methods Study site The study was conducted at the Oncology Clinic of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital {JOOTRH}.
