The S5‐methylation test, an alternative to cytology and HPV16/18 genotyping to triage high‐risk HPV‐positive (hrHPV+) women, has not been widely validated in low‐middle‐income countries (LMICs). We compared S5 to HPV16/18 and cytology to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia Grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and CIN3+ in hrHPV+ women selected from a randomized pragmatic trial of 2661 Colombian women with an earlier‐borderline abnormal cytology. We included all hrHPV+ CIN2 and CIN3+ cases (n = 183) age matched to 183
