It was a cross sectional study and was carried out from July 2018 to June 2019. VIA was performed and colposcopy was done among the VIA positive patients. A total number of 50 VIA positive patients were evaluated colposcopically in this study. In the subjects, colposcopically positive was in 20 (40.00%) cases. Among colposcopically positive patients CIN-I was in 7 (35%), CIN-II was in 1 (5%) and CIN-III was in 1(5%) patients, respectively.
