Do women love this new self-screening cervical cancer device?

September is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month and a great time to tell ladies about a new test that you can do from the comfort of your home.


UDoHPVTest™ (pronounced ‘You-do’) can detect high levels of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – the virus that causes cervical cancer.

So many women are dying daily from cervical cancer – it’s the deadliest cancer amongst women in our country because of the lack of a formal screening and vaccination programme.

Cervical cancer is mainly asymptomatic, meaning there are not many symptoms, so women are not prompted to screen either.

How does the test work?

The UDoHPVTest™ is a vaginal swab based test which you can do at home yourself. Once you have registered online you will be sent an instruction leaflet, a uniquely bar-coded clear bag, a discreet bag, the Evalyn sampling brush and a UDoTest lab form.

Doing the test is easy and takes less than 30 seconds!

What’s the difference between a Pap smear and the UDoHPVTest™?

The UDoHPVTest™ gives women a more precise reading for presence of the Human papillomavirus (HPV) than a traditional Pap smear: it offers 85-95 % specificity whereas a Pap smear is just 54-70 %.

A traditional Pap smear done by a gynaecologist involves a speculum to open the vaginal canal for the collection of cells, which are then analysed by a clinical pathologist. UDoTest’s HPV test is self-collected and doesn’t include the use of a speculum.
