TL;DR: The careHPV test is promising as a primary screening method for cervical-cancer prevention in low-resource regions and an absence of independence between the tests was not adjusted for and the Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons.

TL;DR: CareHPV performed well in large multicountry demonstration studies conducted in resource-limited settings that have not previously been conducted this type of testing; its sensitivity using cervical samples or vaginal self-collected samples was better than VIA or Papanicolaou test.

TL;DR: Self-and vaginal-sampling are widely acceptable among women in low-resource settings and Providers have a unique opportunity to educate and prepare women for self-sampled and be flexible in accommodating women’s preference forSelf-Sampling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that users will refer to the instructions included with the test, but these can be confusing or difficult to follow, and the ideal HIV self-test requires pictorial instructions that are easy to understand, simple sample collection with integrated test components, fewer steps, and results that areeasy to interpret.

TL;DR: Introduction of HIV self-testing could have far-reaching positive effects on holistic HIV testing uptake, giving people autonomy to decide which approach they want to use for HIV testing, early diagnosis, treatment and care for HIV particularly among hard-to reach groups, including men.
