Self-sampling interventions are feasible and easy to use and, therefore, can improve STI management and treatment in women across various age groups and various access levels to good-quality healthcare.

We recommend studies to collaborate with women to co-develop user-friendly self-sampling interventions to diagnose STIs in women.
