ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: We compared HPV mRNA testing using urine, self-, and provider-collected samples for the detection of high-grade cervical cytology and assessed acceptability of urine self-collection among females who engage in sex work in Kenya. Participants found urine sampling comfortable, but hrHPV mRNA detection in urine samples was less likely to detect high-grade lesions than self- and provider-collected cervical samples.
