Superior Analytical Specificity of APTIMA mRNA HPV Testing over DNA Assays in a Resource-Limited South African Setting

2025-06-18

Abstract excerpt

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women in sub-Saharan Africa, where screening access is limited. It is mainly caused by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection, making HPV testing in screening programs imperative. The widely used DNA-based assays cannot distinguish transient from active infections, thus reducing specificity and risking ove...
