A pilot in Zaporizhzhia region in 2025 that offered women aged 30 to 60 a do-it-yourself HPV test for cervical screening during the war. Almost everyone took part and results came back in about a week.
Women aged 30 to 60 living in Zaporizhzhia Oblast were offered HPV testing on self-collected samples, distributed through outpatient clinics, community outreach and refugee centres, between April and December 2025. Samples were analysed locally by PCR with external quality assurance, and women positive for HPV16 or HPV18 were referred straight to colposcopy. The study is registered as NCT07275333.
HPV self-testing can start and keep running in a region under active war, a simpler route than clinic-based smear tests where services and people have been displaced.
