Self-Collected HPV Testing Now Available

All IIPCT primary care locations now offer self-collected HPV testing as a cervical cancer screening option.

This private screening option allows eligible individuals to collect their own sample using a simple self-vaginal swab. It can be used as an alternative to provider-completed cervical screening (previously known as a Pap test).

Why test for HPV?
High-risk strains of HPV cause 99.7% of cervical cancers, making regular screening an important step in protecting your health.

If you think you may be eligible or would like to learn more, please speak with your healthcare provider or contact your IIPCT clinic.

Eligibility criteria apply.
