This trial studies how well community health worker-led interventions work in increasing the uptake of evidence-based screening services. Comparing home testing led by a community health worker versus clinic testing guided by a community health worker may help researchers find the best way to increase early detection and/or prevention for cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, human immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis C in Hispanic, Haitian, and African-American people in Hialeah, South Dade, and Little Haiti.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To develop a community health worker (CHW) led multi-modality strategy for the early detection and/or prevention of the following four health priority conditions: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); hepatitis C virus (HCV); colorectal cancer (CRC) and cervical cancer (only women).
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Participants are navigated by a CHW to primary care services at the health centers where primary care providers (PCPs) as part of routine care evaluate patients for needed preventive services.
GROUP II: Participants receive home-based screening tests from a CHW consisting of oral swab testing for HIV, finger stick testing for HCV, fecal immunochemical testing for colorectal cancer, and HPV self-sampling testing for cervical cancer.
After completion of study, participants are followed up at 6 months.
