This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This program offers a new way for people to get screened for HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer. Instead of having a healthcare provider collect the sample during an exam, you can collect it yourself using a simple swab — either at a clinic or in your own home. The goal is to make cervical cancer screening easier and more accessible.
Many people miss cervical cancer screening because traditional office visits can feel uncomfortable or inconvenient. This study is testing whether offering self-collection as an option can help more people get screened and catch cervical cancer early, when it's easier to treat.

If you join, you'll be offered the option to collect an HPV sample yourself using a special swab. You can choose to do this at your clinic (in an exam room or restroom) or at home. Your clinic will send the sample to be tested for HPV. If the test is positive, the clinic will contact you to schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss next steps.
