Urine reagent strips (URS) are useful for estimating S. haematobium prevalence. Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) occurs as a complication of S. haematobium infection and is associated with cervical mucosal changes. This study evaluates URS in cervicovaginal lavage for FGS diagnosis. The dataset for this study is an anonymized dataset of 209 female participants who gave informed consent to participate in the bilharzia and HIV (BILHIV) study. The BILHIV study was a cross-sectional study nested in HPTN 071 (PopART), a cluster randomized trial to measure the impact of an HIV-1 combination prevention package The dataset contains variables on sociodemographic information as well as FGS and schistosomiasis status.
