Cervical screening: Patients can self-collect HPV at home, GPs told
GPs are being urged to offer home-based self-collection of HPV DNA for the cervical test in underscreened women as the nation contends with another round of COVID-19 lockdowns.
Screening expert Professor Marion Saville, from the VCS Foundation in Melbourne, says many GPs are unaware they can arrange home-based collection, including for telehealth patients, from wherever they are in Australia.
