Article Synopsis
- HIV-positive women are at a higher risk for cervical cancer and need regular screening for HPV, which can lead to this type of cancer.
- A study compared HPV detection in urine samples and cervical swabs, finding comparable prevalence rates and a decent level of concordance between the two methods.
- HPV DNA detection in urine is linked to abnormal cervical smears similarly to traditional cervical swabs, suggesting urine tests could be a viable option for cervical cancer screening in this population, but more research is necessary.
