HPV detection using menstrual blood at home
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether menstrual blood can be used to detect HPV (a virus linked to cervical cancer). You would collect a small sample at home during your period, making screening easier and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 21 and 49 years old.
