Comparison of urine, self-collected vaginal swab, and cervical swab samples for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) with Roche Cobas HPV, Anyplex II HPV, and RealTime HR-S HPV assay.
CONCLUSION: HPV tests using self-collected vaginal samples and urine showed substantial and moderate agreement compared with cervical samples, respectively, although HPV tests using these samples were still inferior to clinician-collected cervical samples. Further research is needed on the clinical performance of HPV testing using urine and self-collected vaginal samples as the screening method.
