Did you know that you can now take your own cervical screening sample? This test is done at the doctor’s surgery, usually in private behind a screen or in the bathroom. It is quick, easy, private and reliable.
Self-collection is conducted with a swab and without a speculum. The self-collection test sample is used to look for human papillomavirus (HPV) – finding HPV early is your best protection against cervical cancer.
A self-collected Cervical Screening Test is just as accurate at detecting HPV as a Cervical Screening Test taken by your doctor.
