Cervical Screening to keep you informed of your health<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routine tests can support for early detection of cervical changes in a respectful and private setting and quick, private, and confidential HPV testing to support your cervical health and wellbeing. Take control of your health with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HPV (human papillomavirus virus) is a very common infection. Most people will have it at some point in their lives. In many cases it clears on its own, but some types of HPV can cause changes that may lead to cervical cancer if not detected and treated early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cervical Screening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A cervical screening is a safe and routine test where a healthcare provider gently collects cells from your cervix. These cells are then examined for any changes that might lead to cervical cancer. It\u2019s one of the most effective ways to protect your reproductive health. Prevention is better than cure<\/strong>, pap smears can detect changes long before they become cancer. Women and people with a cervix aged 21\u201365 years are encouraged to have cervical testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
