Expanding Access for Women’s Health
Express Lab is proud to partner with physician offices to offer self-collected HPV testing. This testing is an essential step forward in cervical cancer screening for women who may feel under-served, overlooked, or hesitant to seek care due to embarrassment, cultural reasons, or limited access.
This self-collection method empowers you to take charge of your health in a way that is private, convenient, and reliable. By offering this option, your healthcare provider can use this diagnostic process to avoid delays in cervical cancer screening, increasing early detection and deliver peace of mind.
Why Self-Collection Matters
- A simplified process from start to finish
- You collect a vaginal sample yourself in your provider’s clinic, using an approved collection device.
- Samples are safely transported to us, where they are processed under strict quality standards.
- Results are delivered directly to your healthcare provider, who will keep you informed and connected.
- Same accuracy, greater comfort
Clinical research shows that self-collected HPV samples are just as accurate as those collected by a provider for detecting precancerous changes. - Fewer invalid results
Studies comparing multiple HPV tests show that this method produces one of the lowest rates of invalid results, giving you and your provider confidence in the outcome.
Bringing Care Closer to the Women Who Need It
By offering self-collection through physician offices, we are helping break down barriers to care. This service ensures more women, especially those who may feel embarrassed, anxious, or under-served, can receive this essential life-saving cervical cancer screening.
