Feasibility and acceptability of human papillomavirus self-sampling compared with clinician sampling in urban areas of western China: a cross-sectional survey
Self-collected urine and vaginal samples for the detection of hrHPV and CIN2+ demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy and acceptability, making them viable alternatives to clinician-collected samples. Self-sampling methods may improve screening accessibility and compliance, especially in resource-limited settings, thereby supporting the prevention and early detection of CIN2+.
