HPV self-sampling in Japanese women: A feasibility study in a population with limited experience of tampon use
Conclusions
Self-sampling was highly acceptable in this population of women. They could perform the test safely unsupervised, but lacked confidence the test has been carried out correctly. Japanese women need to be educated about the accuracy of human papillomavirus self-sampling and further large-scale studies are necessary in non-responders.
