HPV self-testing increased cervical screening rates by 10.8% in New Zealand, especially among under-screened Māori and Pacific women.
A new study from New Zealand shows that offering HPV self-testing to all women boosts cervical cancer screening rates by 10.8 percent compared to traditional exams, with 81 percent of screened individuals choosing self-testing since its nationwide rollout in 2023.
The research, involving over 22,000 people across 14 clinics, found self-testing significantly increases participation, especially among under-screened Māori and Pacific women.
Experts say the approach is safe, effective, and key to eliminating cervical cancer, urging global adoption through primary care with proper training and support.
