HPV Self-Testing

Women’s health is now in their hands.

We are committed to the World Health Organization’s call-to-action for the elimination of cervical cancer worldwide by 2030. Per its guidelines, we have introduced HPV self-testing which provides improved screening accuracy and efficiency.

Why HPV Self-Testing?


Wide Impact

HPV self-testing has the potential to reach more women in rural areas where access to health facilities is limited.


Patient Satisfaction

Having the opportunity to be tested without having a pelvic exam has proven to be far more acceptable to women. Self-testing gives women privacy, autonomy, and dignity.


Exceptional Care

HPV testing provides the highest-quality screening for cervical cancer available and we are introducing it to regions of the world with the greatest need.

Testing for HPV offers superior specificity, and its strong negative predictive value means that women who test negative only need to be retested after a minimum interval of five years. Providing women with the option of self-sampling contributes to acceptability and access to services.

Because of its high level of performance, countries should ideally transition to HPV testing as the primary method of screening for cervical cancer.
