Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so itβs important to take up your invitation when it arrives.
If youβve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.
You canβt opt in to HPV self-testing β if youβre eligible, the NHS will contact you.
