Validation of Vaginal Self-Sampling With the Abbott Multi-Collect Swab for HPV Screening in Women Aged 30 to 64 Years

This study evaluates the performance of HPV testing on vaginal self-collected samples obtained with the Abbott Multi-Collect device. The study compares HPV test results from self-collected vaginal samples with results from clinician-collected cervical samples in women aged 30 to 64 years who either participate regularly in cervical cancer screening or have not attended screening for at least 3 years. The goal is to determine whether self-sampling provides accurate detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) and could support broader participation in cervical cancer screening programs.
