hpv typing between self- and physician-sampled

Conditions: Human Papillomavirus Infection; Self Sampling; Vaginal Discharge

Summary: hygeia touch inc. developed a safe and comfortable vaginal self-sampling device "hygeia touch self sampling kit for women" to self-collect the vaginal discharge sample for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrhpv) detection. this clinical trial aimed to evaluate the agreement of hrhpv detections between vaginal self-sampling using "hygeia touch self sampling kit for women" and physician sampling, and these results will be applied for tfda registration approval.

primary end-point: 1. agreement of hr-hpv types, including types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68, between the physician-collected sample and self-collected sample 2. agreement of the presence of hr-hpv between the physician-collected sample and self-collected sample secondary end-point: 1. percentage of the valid sample between self-collected and physician-collected specimens 2. agreement of all (n = 27) hpv types between the paired samples 3. adverse events associated with sample collection 4. questionnaire of the appreciation and satisfaction of using self-collecting vaginal discharge sample using "hygeia touch self sampling kit for women" through a short movie and a brief illustration 5. correlation between histological diagnosis and hpv types
