%X Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes morbidity and mortality worldwide. Evidence-based models addressing health for women who have HPV may prevent development of cervical cancer (CC). We applied Meleis¡¯ transition model to identify barriers and facilitators influencing CC protective behavior for women with HPV. Descriptive, correlational design including nonprobabilistic sampling of women with HPV (N = 201) in Mexico. Variables linked to CC protective behavior (cervical cytology, stable partner, condom use, communication) included awareness of HPV/CC as well as attitude toward diagnosis and cytological control of HPV (¦Ë = 890, F[196.00] = 6.057, p = .001). Acceptance of HPV diagnosis related to HPV carrier attitude, stigma, age, education, and length of HPV diagnosis (R2 = .155, F[5, 195] = 8.34, p < .05). Knowledge of HPV, attitude toward HPV diagnosis/cytological control, and age had direct effects on self-efficacy for CC protective behavior (R2 = .239, F[7, 193] = 9.95, p < .05). Coping with HPV diagnosis, self-efficacy for CC protective behavior, and age were also associated with CC protective behavior (R2 = 14.6, F[3.7] = 12.39, p = .001). Identification of factors inhibiting or facilitating transition among women who have HPV decrease progression to CC by increasing CC protective behaviors
