Women accessing the Colposcopy Centres for a colposcopy examination and fulfilling the selection criteria will be asked, after written informed consent, to self-collect a first-void urine (with UriSponge™ 8E031S100 device) and a vaginal sample (with FLOQSwab® 5E089N device), prior to undergoing colposcopy. Just before colposcopic examination, a clinician will also collect a cervical sample using a Cervex-Brush.
A colposcopy-targeted biopsy or histology following excisional treatment of a cervical precancer lesion will be undertaken if appropriate. The colposcopy and/or histological findings will be used as the gold standard. In case of normal satisfactory colposcopic findings without biopsy taking, colposcopy will provide the study outcome.
Virological accuracy of HPV testing using: [a] BD Onclarity on FLOQSwab® 5E089N vaginal self-samples, [b] BD Onclarity on UriSponge™ 8E031S100 urine specimens, will be compared to BD Onclarity testing on a cervical samples collected by a clinician.
