Where do you go for smear tests ?

[Pancakeflipper]

Does your sexual health clinic do smear tests ?

I'm genuinely surprised to find out ours doesn't. There's no choice except my GP and I ain't going there (again).

The cell sample is tested for HPV. But they also do a visual check, which is how they found I had a cervical polyp - I'd had no symptoms.

(I do go to the nurse at my GP though.)

You are only invited to smears up to 64. They won't do one unless you have symptoms. That's one reason the online tests are good. Mamagrams you can still book them yourself when the routine ones stop.

If the at home ones are now available, surely these should be offered, because many people would choose these (because they're busy/feel uncomfortable going to the GP etc)
