Update
Screening letters are available online in
Health Gateway. Health Gateway can now email and/or text (SMS) you when new screening letters are added that show you need follow-up or when you are due to screen again.
Learn more about screening letters, notifications and Health Gateway.
Note: You may see the letter that comes with your self-screening kit in Health Gateway before your kit arrives in the mail. If you receive the letter online first, please wait until your kit arrives before taking any action.
Cervix self-screening can stop cancer before it develops. It's free and can be done wherever you feel safe and comfortable, such as in your home or at a health care provider’s office. Cervix self-screening is an alternative to the Pap for routine cervical cancer screening.
If you don’t want to do cervix self-screening, you can still choose to have a Pap test. Talk to a health care provider to discuss cervix screening options and when to screen.
Cervix screening is recommended for anyone with a cervix, including women and Two-Spirit, transgender and non-binary people between the ages of 25 and 69.
