Acceptability and feasibility of one-stop home-based genital self-sampling for female genital schistosomiasis, human papilloma virus and self-testing for trichomonas and HIV: the Zipime Weka Schista study in Zambia
Listen to this summary
The authors of this study aimed to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a one-stop home-based genital self-sampling approach for diagnosing female genital schistosomiasis, HPV, and self-testing for Trichomonas and HIV among women in Zambia. The results indicated high acceptability (76.4%) and feasibility, with 100% of participants providing self-swabs and a significant proportion opting for home testing due to convenience and privacy concerns. This approach has the potential to enhance access to necessary health services for women in the region.
