Khoo SP, Lim WT, Rajasuriar R, et al. - This study was undertaken to explore the acceptability of vaginal self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and factors that might influence a woman's preference for this as a cervical screening method. Researchers performed a cross-sectional study including a total of 725 women from the urban and suburban areas of Selangor, Malaysia. The findings suggested that the convenience and women's confidence in conducting a vaginal self-sampling for HPV testing were the independent key factors that affected the preference for the self-sampling method. For HPV testing, vaginal self-sampling is highly acceptable among Malaysian women. The data indicated that it is the preferred option as a primary cervical screening method and serves as an alternative to a healthcare-acquired sample for Pap test.
