What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're due for routine cervical cancer screening or want to check for two common sexually transmitted infections at the same time. It looks for abnormal or pre-cancerous cervical cells as well as chlamydia and gonorrhea, which often have no symptoms. It's a good option if you're sexually active, have had a new partner, or simply want peace of mind with your regular women's health checkup.

What's included in this test?

This panel combines a liquid-based Pap test with testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea, since these are all things routinely checked during a women's cervical health screening. The Pap portion looks at the health of your cervical cells to catch changes early, while the infection testing checks for two of the most common bacterial STIs, which can otherwise go unnoticed and cause complications if untreated.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your online account with each value explained, including whether your cervical cells look normal and whether chlamydia or gonorrhea were detected. If anything comes back abnormal, the report explains simple next steps, such as retesting on a set schedule or seeking care right away if the finding is significant. You can download a standard lab report for your records at any time, and the trends feature lets you track your results over future screenings.

How can I naturally support cervical health?

Not smoking, eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a healthy weight can all support your body's ability to clear HPV infections that lead to abnormal cervical cells. Using condoms consistently lowers your risk of picking up new infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhea. Staying on a regular screening schedule also means any changes are caught early, when they're easiest to manage.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected. Pap test results can sometimes take a bit longer to process than the infection portion since cells are examined more closely. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are posted to your online account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with a cervix who is due for routine screening, typically starting around age 21 and continuing on a regular schedule after that. It's also worth considering if you've had a new sexual partner, are experiencing unusual discharge, or want to screen for infections that often don't cause symptoms. Combining both tests in one visit is convenient if you're already due for your regular checkup.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods or after sex, and pain during urination can all be signs worth checking with this test. Keep in mind that chlamydia and gonorrhea frequently cause no symptoms at all, so many people test positive without ever feeling unwell. Abnormal Pap results also usually don't come with noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening matters.

What does a positive chlamydia or gonorrhea result mean?

A positive result means the bacteria that causes the infection was found in your sample, even if you don't feel sick. These infections are treatable, and addressing them early helps prevent complications like pelvic pain or fertility issues down the road. Your partner(s) should also get tested and treated to avoid re-infection.

What causes an abnormal Pap result?

Abnormal Pap results are most often caused by HPV, a very common virus that can lead to changes in cervical cells. Inflammation from an infection, recent sexual activity, or even minor irritation can sometimes affect results too. Most abnormal results are mild and resolve on their own, but the report will explain what your specific finding means and what a reasonable retest timeline looks like.

How often should I retest?

For most people, Pap screening is recommended every 3 years if prior results have been normal, though this can vary based on your history and prior findings. STI testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea is worth repeating anytime you have a new partner or notice symptoms. Your results report will note if an earlier retest is recommended based on your specific findings.
