Study Summary
The investigators will test the cytological performance of a nylon-flocked swab at two insertion depths in the anus, 3 cm and 5 cm, to determine which insertion depth is better at collecting cells from the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ), an anatomic site that is particularly vulnerable to carcinogenic transformation. The investigators hypothesize that the 5 cm insertion will result in a higher quality specimen with cells from the SCJ. However, the deeper swab insertion may affect end user acceptability without increasing adequacy or quality.
Primary Outcome
The presence of cells from the squamocolumnar junction will be assessed in each specimen (Yes/No). Proportions of specimens with squamocolumnar cells will be compared for the 5 cm and 3 cm swabs.
Interventions
- OTHER Inserting a swab 5 cm into the anus during self-sampling
- OTHER Self-sampling with a swab by inserting the swab 3 cm into the anus.
