Abstract

Self-sampling is a method by which the subject collects the own specimens for disease detection. It has the advantages of strong privacy, convenient and simple operation, free time and place, etc. It can improve the compliance of people in remote areas, affected by traditional concepts, limited by working hours and underdeveloped transportation and medical treatment to participate in disease detection and screening. With the development of "Internet+health care" and "Internet+nursing service", home-based self-sampling testing will become a developing situation for disease detection and screening. Human immunodeficiency virus and Human papillomavirus infection bring a heavy burden to individuals and society. In the absence of effective and widespread primary prevention, secondary prevention, namely "early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment" is an effective measure to control the adverse consequences. At present, there are many researches on HPV and HIV self-sampling test, whose test results are highly reliable and highly accepted in the population, and is of great significance for improving the coverage rate of cervical cancer screening and the diagnosis rate of HIV carriers.

自取样是受检者自己采集标本进行疾病检测的方法,具有隐私性强、操作方便简单、时间地点自由等优点,可以提高受传统观念影响、工作时间限制及交通和医疗不发达的偏远地区的人群参加疾病检测及筛查的依从性。随着“互联网+医疗健康”及“互联网+护理服务”的发展,居家自取样检测成为疾病检测及筛查的一个发展趋势。HIV及HPV感染给个人及社会带来较重的负担,在一级预防的有效性、普及性不足的现况下,二级预防即“早发现、早诊断、早治疗”是控制其带来的不良后果的有效措施。目前关于HPV和HIV自取样检测的研究较多,其检测结果可靠性较高,且在人群中接受度较高,对于提高宫颈癌筛查覆盖率及艾滋病病毒携带者诊断率有重要意义。.
