What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're due for routine cervical cancer screening or want to check for high-risk HPV infection, which is the main cause of cervical cancer. It's also a good option if you've had an abnormal Pap result in the past and want to monitor your cervical health going forward. Many women use this combined test as part of regular preventive care, even without any symptoms.

How should I prepare for this test?

How can I naturally support cervical health? Keeping your immune system strong is one of the best ways to help your body clear HPV infections naturally, since most infections go away on their own within a couple of years. Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants, avoiding smoking, and managing stress can all support a healthy immune response. Staying up to date on screening and maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall are the most effective natural steps you can take.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what each part of the test means, including whether your Pap result was normal and whether high-risk HPV was detected. If everything looks normal, the typical next step is simply repeating this screening on the recommended schedule, usually every 3-5 years depending on your age and history. If HPV or abnormal cells are found, the report will explain what that means and what type of follow-up testing is usually recommended. You can download the full lab report anytime and use the trends feature to track your results over multiple screenings.

When will I get my results?

Results for this combined Pap and HPV test are typically available within about 7 days after your sample is collected at the lab. Cytology testing takes a bit longer to process than a standard blood test because a specialist reviews the cell samples under a microscope. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for women looking to stay current on cervical cancer screening guidelines, especially those who haven't been tested recently. It's also useful for anyone who wants combined Pap and HPV information in a single visit rather than scheduling separate tests. Women with a history of abnormal Pap results or known HPV exposure may also want to test more proactively.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

HPV and early cervical changes usually don't cause any symptoms at all, which is exactly why routine screening matters. Some women may notice unusual vaginal discharge, spotting between periods, or bleeding after intercourse, which can sometimes be linked to cervical changes. Since these signs can be subtle or absent, sticking to a regular screening schedule is the most reliable way to catch issues early.

What is HPV and why does it matter?

HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common virus spread through skin-to-skin contact, and certain high-risk types can cause changes in cervical cells over time if not cleared by the body. Most people who get HPV never develop any health problems, but persistent infection with high-risk types is the main driver of cervical cancer. Knowing your HPV status helps guide how often you should be screened going forward.

What does a positive high-risk HPV result mean?

A positive result means one or more high-risk HPV types were found in your sample, which raises your chances of developing cervical cell changes over time. It doesn't mean you have cancer or will definitely develop it — most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years. Your report will explain which type was found (16, 18, or other high-risk types) and what that typically means for follow-up timing.

How often should I retest?

Most screening guidelines recommend repeating combined Pap and HPV testing every 3 to 5 years if your results are normal, though your personal history may call for a different schedule. If you've had an abnormal result, more frequent testing (such as annually) is often recommended until things return to normal. Your results report will include general guidance on timing based on your specific findings.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

An abnormal result doesn't automatically mean something serious is wrong — it simply means further follow-up testing or closer monitoring is a good idea. Common next steps include repeating the test sooner than usual or getting a more detailed follow-up exam of the cervix. Review your full report for specifics on your result, and don't delay scheduling any recommended follow-up, especially if the report flags it as high priority.
