FAQs

What is high-risk HPV?

High-risk HPV refers to specific types of the Human Papillomavirus that are more likely to cause cervical cell changes that can lead to cancer over time. Regular screening helps detect these changes early.

How does the diagnostic tampon work?

The diagnostic tampon is designed to collect a sample of cells from the cervix. It is inserted similarly to a menstrual tampon and remains in place for a specific duration as instructed, then removed to collect the sample for testing.

Is this kit a substitute for a Pap smear or HPV vaccine?

No, this kit is a screening tool and not a substitute for regular medical care, including Pap smears or professional pelvic exams. It also does not replace the HPV vaccine, which prevents infection.

When should I use this HPV test kit?

This kit is suitable for individuals who want to screen for high-risk HPV from home, particularly for proactive health monitoring between regular medical appointments or if they prefer a more discreet testing option.

What should I do after collecting the sample?

After collecting the sample, you will need to prepare it for laboratory assessment using the provided packaging and follow the directions for its return, typically via mail.

Can I use this kit if I have symptoms?

The kit is intended for screening purposes. If you have symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pain, or other urgent concerns, you should seek medical guidance from a healthcare professional immediately rather than relying solely on this home test.

How long does it take to get results?

The time to receive results can vary depending on the laboratory processing and shipping times. Specific timelines are usually detailed in the kit's instructions or on the manufacturer's website.

Troubleshooting

Kit seal is broken or parts appear damaged upon arrival.

Do not use the kit. Contact customer support or the place of purchase for a replacement.

Difficulty collecting sample with the diagnostic tampon.

Refer to the detailed instructions in the kit leaflet. Ensure you are relaxed and following the insertion and collection steps precisely. If discomfort persists, do not force collection and consult the leaflet's guidance on when to seek medical advice.

Sample not received by the lab.

Ensure you followed the return packaging and shipping instructions exactly. Check if there are any tracking details provided for the return shipment. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Received an unclear or uninterpretable result.

This can sometimes happen due to sample quality or processing. The kit instructions will guide you on whether re-testing is recommended or if you should consult a healthcare professional.
