LOOK: Using vinegar to screen for cervical cancer Share ONE in four women in the southern region of Malawi is treated for cervical cancer, using a quick and easy screening and treatment process that includes the use of vinegar. Visual Inspection with Acidic Acid (VIA) is the only form of cervical cancer screening in Malawi. While there is the option of pap smear testing at private hospitals, the costs are too high for the average woman in the poverty-stricken country.
