HPV Cervical Cancer

What Does This Test Check?

This home test checks for high risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus behind almost all cervical cancers. It uses a self-taken cervical sample screened for the HPV types that persist and cause cell changes.

Goodbody Clinic offers the HPV Cervical Cancer Screening Home Test at £165, with results in three to seven working days. It is the sole option on this page, so there is no price comparison to make, and the sample is a simple swab you take yourself at home.

A positive result may indicate you carry a high risk HPV strain, but most infections clear on their own and it does not mean you have cancer. Keep up routine NHS cervical screening, and take any positive result or unusual symptoms to your GP.
