self‐obtained sampleSTIvaginal swabsThis study shows that given a choice, New Zealand women at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI) opt to provide a self-taken vaginal swab over a clinician-taken sample for STI testing. Self-obtained vaginal swabs have previously been shown to ...
standalone screening tests as colposcopy and histologically confirmed CIN for cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings Methods 1,601 women in Sharkya Governerate, Egypt concurrently received HPV DNA testing [ Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) assay] for self-collected and physician-obtained samples, ...
1,601 women in Sharkya Governerate, Egypt concurrently received HPV DNA testing [Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) assay] for self-collected and physician-obtained samples, and VIA. Women who tested positive for HPV DNA or VIA received colposcopy and biopsy. Results Percentage of women testing positive wa...

Moreover, we demonstrated that the performance of HPV Selfy on self-collected vaginal samples was non-inferior to the performance obtained on clinician-collected cervical specimen (0.92 relative sensitivity and 0.97 relative specificity). Finally, through HPV Selfy genotyping, we were able to describe...
One (11%) of 9 women with high-grade disease who did not have HPV DNA detected on the clinician-obtained sample had HPV DNA detected on the self-collected vaginal swab. Age Differences in Test Performance No significant differences existed in the prevalence of high-grade disease, prevalence ...
Self-obtained penile-meatal swabs and urine specimens have been used for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) for outreach screening in men. To compare the sensitivity of self-collected male penile-meatal swabs and urine for the detection of CT, ...
Recognizing the diagnostic accuracy of molecular testing for HPV detection carried out on vaginal self-collection compared with clinician-collection samples, as previously demonstrated [11]; the results obtained are roughly consistent with previous epidemiological data. In fact, the most common genotypes ...
infection with the 2019 novel virus. Any interpretation or use of this preliminary test result must also rely on other clinical findings as well as on the professional judgment of health care providers. Alternative test method(s) should be considered to conf...
