Among females engaged in sex work in Kenya, urine self-collection is considered a comfortable and acceptable method for detecting human papillomavirus. However, detection of high-grade cervical cytology was less likely in urine samples compared to self- and provider-collected cervical samples.
We compared human papillomavirus messenger RNA 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 high-risk human papillomavirus messenger RNA detection in urine samples was less likely to detect high-grade lesions than self- and provider-collected cervical samples.
