HPV cervical screening - November 2021
HPV cervical screening is a new way of screening. It was introduced in Ireland in March 2020.
It first looks to see if a person has any of the high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that may cause cervical cancer.
If HPV is found, their same test sample will be checked for abnormal cells.
HPV cervical screening:
- is a better way of cervical screening
- prevents more cancers
- means some people will have fewer tests
