Human papillomavirus self-sampling and text-message feedback delivery are generally well-perceived and accepted among rural Tanzanian women, and the majority of HPV-positive women attended a follow-up appointment after receiving their HPV results and follow-up appointment via text messages. This screening method may have potential to be transferrable to other low-income countries with a high incidence of cervical cancer and so improve cervical cancer screening attendances.
