# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In the mountains of Ecuador, over the rough terrain of Tanzania, or even in the rural communities in the US, there are women at significant risk of dying of cervical cancer and have no idea. Even worse, they have no real way of finding out. Most sexually active woman contract the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Most sexually active women contract human papillomavirus. Certain strains of HPV are responsible for 99 % of cases of cervical cancer. Despite great steps in HPV prevention and treatment, the benefits are limited to a small group of women with access to HPV tests and vaccines. To increase access, scientists have established a self-administered HPV test. Kits contain a test tube, a swab and a mail-in box. Women can administer their own test, mail a sample back to a lab and be alerted to dangerous strains of HPV.

·         may lead to unnecessary treatment like surgery or cervical tissue removal

·         women may not seek follow up examination due to home exam

·         possibly not collected correctly leading to negative results
·         fear about hurting themselves

·         fear about the test being inaccurate

·         easy access

·         cost efficient

·         early screening meaning earlier treatment

·         women who have HPV tests are less likely to die from cancer

·         strong detection of CIN2+ cells at 88.7%

Opinion and Rationale, I believe that this is a strong and clinically applicable product for preventative health of women. Many women do not make time to go to the gyne. or do not have access in rural and under served areas. Access to this one test can help women to stop dying from an easily curable disease, cervical cancer. There has been proven medical research on this product that proves effectiveness. I believe that not only in the US but in many countries this will save hundreds of thousands of lives.
