This study tests if people can collect their own vaginal samples to check for HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. Right now, doctors usually collect samples. The study compares results from self-collected samples with those collected by doctors. HPV (human papillomavirus) often goes away by itself, but sometimes it stays and can lead to cancer. Many people don't get checked for cervical cancer regularly, which is why this study is important. By letting people collect their own samples, it might be easier and more comfortable for them, leading to more people getting tested. This study is part of a bigger project to make cervical cancer tests more common and easier to access.
- The study involves one visit where you'll collect a sample yourself and have a doctor collect one too.
- You'll get the results within 60 days.
- You must be 25 or older and can't be pregnant or have certain medical issues.
