"Accuracy of urinary human papillomavirus testing for presence of cervical HPV: systematic review and meta-analysis"

"Conclusions

Testing urine for HPV seems to have good accuracy for the detection of cervical HPV, and testing first void urine samples is more accurate than random or midstream sampling. When cervical HPV detection is considered difficult in particular subgroups, urine testing should be regarded as an acceptable alternative."
