HPV Home Test (high-risk grouped)
Self-collect Qvintip vaginal swab tests for 19 high-risk HPV DNA subtypes, the strains linked to cervical cancer. Results grouped as Type 16, Type 18, or Others. NHS cervical screening uses an equivalent test. For routine screening, NHS offers this free every 3–5 years; this is for women wanting more frequent monitoring or after an abnormal result.

Finger-prick sample at home, or a clinic blood draw — your choice
Questions
How long do results take?+
Most results are reviewed and released within a few days of the lab receiving your sample — typically 2–3 working days. Genetic and specialist panels take longer; your exact turnaround is confirmed when you order.
Can I choose a home kit or a clinic?+
Both — it's your choice at checkout. Either collect a finger-prick sample at home with the posted kit and return it in the prepaid envelope, or book a clinic appointment and have a nurse take the sample for you.
Is a doctor involved?+
Yes. Every result is reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor who signs it off and explains what it means and what to do next. This is never a results-only service.
Is it confidential?+
Completely. Your sample is analysed at a UKAS-accredited (ISO 15189) laboratory, your results are private to your secure portal, and your data is never shared without your consent.
