Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Jan 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to validate a patient self-sampling vaginal collection kit and laboratory testing for the detection of HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Researchers will compare the laboratory results of self-collected vaginal swab samples to usual healthcare provider-collected cervical swab samples to determine the laboratory HPV testing accuracy of the self-collection swab.
