Summary
Papillomaviruses are responsible for almost all cervical cancers. In France, there are more than 3000 new cases of cervical cancer each year and nearly 1000 deaths. One of the ways to prevent this cancer is screening by PCR on cervical sample for which national coverage rate remains very insufficient (\<60%). The invasive and uncomfortable nature of cervical sampling has been identified as a major obstacle to screening. In this context, an alternative sample, such as the first-void urine, seems to be judicious. Nevertheless, some studies have shown a lack of sensitivity of the HPV PCR test on urine. As underlined by the French National Authority for Health (HAS), this is mainly due to a lack of standardization of urine collection. In this study, the investigators therefore propose to evaluate the performance of the HPV PCR test on first-void urine using a standardized protocol. Through a questionnaire, they will also evaluate the acceptability of the first void urine collection device.
