This study is being done to help IU Health validate a new method for HPV testing using self-collected vaginal swab samples. Volunteers will collect two vaginal swabs during a single study visit. The test results from these samples will be compared to results from an already validated collection method to make sure the new testing process performs as expected. The information gathered will be used for laboratory validation and will not be used for medical care or reported back to participants.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing plays an important role in the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. The BD Onclarity HPV Assay for self-collected vaginal samples obtained in a healthcare setting has already received FDA approval and has been validated at IU Health. Recently, FDA approval was expanded to include at-home self-collection using the same testing platform, collection devices, and reagents. The purpose of this study is to support laboratory validation of the BD Onclarity HPV Assay for at-home self-collected vaginal specimens prior to clinical implementation at IU He…
Inclusion Criteria: * Persons with a vagina and cervix. Exclusion Criteria: * Absence of vagina or cervix or refusal to participate in the study, pregnancy.
Participants will self-collect two vaginal specimens during a single study visit, including one specimen using the currently validated in-office self-collection method and one specimen using the BD Onclarity At-Home Self-Collection Kit. Both specimens will undergo HPV testing using the BD Onclarity HPV Assay on the BD COR System. Results will be compared to evaluate the performance of at-home self-collected specimens and support laboratory validation prior to clinical implementation.
HPV testing of paired self-collected vaginal specimens using the BD Onclarity HPV Assay on the BD COR System to support laboratory validation of at-home self-collection for HPV screening.
