Is there a home screening test for HPV?

Doctor's Answer

Yes, there is a home screening test available, instead of visiting a doctor to do the HPV test.

In fact, the way HPV tests are done is similar to pap smear testing.

For the home test kit, there will be a device to insert into your vagina to collect the secretion and then seal it and return to the clinic. Yes, there is such a device that is available in Singapore.

Essentially, depending on which company manufactures it and depending on how they deliver the service, it can be a mailbag service or sending back to a clinic to check the results.
