  abstract = {{V}aginal self-sampling and human papillomavirus ({HPV}) {DNA} testing can be useful tools for women with limited access to health care living in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {T}o assess the feasibility and acceptability of vaginal self-sampling and high-risk {HPV} prevalence in two villages of central {S}enegal, women were asked to self-sample vaginal swabs for {HPV} detection in {M}ay, 2016. {V}aginal swabs were collected from 133 women and were tested for {HPV} genotyping. {T}he acceptability rate of vaginal self-sampling was 98.5%, and 99.2% of the women (133/134) used the device correctly. {T}he quality of self-sampling was satisfactory in 100% of the samples; 10.5% of the samples were positive for {HPV}, including 6% with high-risk {HPV} types and4% with low-risk {HPV} types. {T}his preliminary study indicates that vaginal self-sampling is a valuable strategy for high-risk {HPV} detection and cervical cancer screening in a population of women not attending gynecologic screening in rural areas of {S}enegal.},
