Cakupan skrining deteksi dini kanker serviks di Indonesia melalui pemeriksaan IVA masih sangat rendah, yakni sekitar 5%, padahal cakupan skrining yang efektif dalam menurunkan angka kesakitan dan angka kematian karena kanker serviks adalah 85%. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap dengan minat wanita usia subur terhadap pemeriksaan inspeksi visual asam asetat (IVA) di puskesmas Ch.M.Tiahahu Kota Ambon. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan November 2018 dengan populasi adalah Wanita Usia Subur yang berdomisili di Kota Ambon. Sampel diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap responden sebagian besar dalam kategori kurang yaitu 81,8 % dan 69,3%. Hal ini berpengaruh terhadap minat pemeriksaan IVA responden hanya 40,9 %. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa bahwa tingkat pengetahuan (p = 0,002) dan sikap (p = 0,001) berpengaruh terhadap minat WUS (Wanita Usia Subur) melakukan pemeriksaan IVA (Inspeksi Visual Asam Asetat).
