Pooled performance of urinary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for the presence of cervical HPV
Urinary HPV testing exhibits lower sensitivity than both cervical professional sampling and vaginal self-sampling. Although its noninvasive nature supports its potential utility as a complementary strategy in resource-limited or culturally conservative populations, it is not currently suitable for general population screening where standard methods are available because of its suboptimal performance and lack of standardized protocols for sampling and testing. Furthermore, standardization of sampling and testing protocols is required before routine implementation.
