Offering HPV self-testing in primary care increases cervical cancer screening rates compared with usual care. A cluster randomized trial in New Zealand showed a significantly higher proportion of women screened. The study compared HPV self-testing with standard care. HPV self-testing is a simple way to take a sample from the vagina and cervix. After collection, the test is mailed to a laboratory for molecular testing. The HPV test detects the presence of high-risk types of the virus that cause almost all cases of cervical cancer. A positive result does not automatically mean cancer, many infections go away on their own. The study confirmed higher screening participation due to self-testing in primary care.
