Objective: Rapid, high-volume screening programs are needed as part of cervical cancer prevention in China.
Methods: In a 5-day screening project in Inner Mongolia, 3345 women volunteered following a community awareness campaign, and self-swabbed to permit rapid HPV testing. Two AmpFire™ HPV detection systems (Atila Biosystems) were sufficient to provide pooled 15-HPV type data within an hour.
Objective: Rural Yunnan Province is one of the most ethnically, culturally, and religiously diverse regions in China. The majority of its women have never been screened for cervical cancer. It is not known whether women would feel comfortable and ultimately even prefer using a human papillomavirus (HPV) self-swabbing method.

Design: 480-980 women per day self-swabbed for high-risk HPV (hrHPV+). Four careHPV machines (Qiagen) were run simultaneously to test the specimens.
