FDA OKs New Self-Test for HPV, What to Know
Johner Images/Getty Images * The FDA has approved two new self-screening tests for HPV. * Patients would be able to access the self-screening test at a physician’s office. * While these tests can act as a supplement, the pelvic exam may still be necessary in some cases. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two new self-tests to detect HPV. These new tests would allow people to take their own sample to test for HPV, instead of having a physician perform a pelvic exam to take a sample. Detecting HPV can help physicians determine if a person is at risk for cervical cancer. The tests are made by Roche and BD. A better way to test for HPV? HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with more than 42 million cases in the U.S., according to the CDC. “The introduction of self-screening tests for cervical cancer is a fascinating development,” said Matthew Casavant, MD, OB/GYN and founder of South Lake Obstetrics & Gynecology.
