Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study participants who present at the HIV clinic will be thoroughly instructed in correct usage of the vaginal and urine devices by trained healthcare workers. At the HIV clinics, facilities will be available for the women to conduct self-sampling in privacy, before handing in the samples. At the local laboratory, the dry brush head will be suspended in Thinprep medium and stored until shipment to Denmark. The urine samples will be stored at room temperature for up to 7 days before transferred to a -20º freezer until shipment to Denmark.
Analyses: vaginal and urine samples will be analyzed at Randers Regional Hospital using the Cobas 4800 HPV DNA test. The Department is specialized in self-collected samples from previous studies. This procedure is considered feasible based on data showing that the dry brush is analytically stable for HPV DNA detection for up to 32 weeks at temperatures ranging from 4 ºC to 30 ºC. After HPV analyses, residual material from the self-collected samples will be stored in a biobank in Denmark at Aarhus University hospital and saved for future research.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
HIV-positive females in Guinea-Bissau
The study is conducted on female HIV-infected patients in the Nationwide HIV-cohort at the 9 biggest HIV-clinics in Guinea-Bissau.
Participants will be invited to enroll in the project when they present to the HIV-clinics for HIV-treatment and consultations.
Self-sampling for HPV infection
After informed consent has been provided, the woman will be asked to collect firstly a first-void urine sample using the Collipee device and secondly to collect a vaginal self-sample using the dry Evalyn® Brush device. Socioeconomic, demographic and clinical data will be collected in the Bissau HIV Cohort database and through study questionnaires to collect background information on risk factors for HPV persistence and development of cervical cancer (HIV genotype, immune status, parity). Questionnaires will collect additional information on the acceptance of cervical screening measures to better evaluate the feasibility of implementing self-collected screening among HIV infected women in Guinea-Bissau.
