Cervical Screening Test (CST) at home could save your life | Dr Melanie Dorrington | Clinic66online

Approximately 800 women in Australia receive a cervical cancer diagnosis annually, with around 70% of these instances affecting people who have not undergone screening or have fallen behind on their screenings.

It's now so much easier than the previous 2 year PAP smear to safeguard your well-being, with a simple at home test every 5 years now available.

In Australia, we now have the option to collect our own sample for the Cervical Screening Test (much like the Covid PCR test). This self-collected sample is examined for human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a prevalent STI responsible for nearly all cervical cancer cases.

Taking Preventive Measures into Your Own Hands:
If you qualify, and would like to self-collect your sample, you can arrange a consultation with one of our telehealth General Practitioners. They will assess your eligibility, send you a test request form, and guide you through the simple process. No in person clinic visit required!

Research confirms that a Cervical Health Test using a self-collected vaginal sample delivers reliable results and comparable accuracy in HPV detection to a sample obtained by a clinician from the cervix during a speculum examination.
