Our HPV test screens for the strains of HPV that potentially lead to cervical cancer. It’s quick, easy and can be done by you in the privacy of your own home.
Just answer a few health questions to get started and pay a $30 consultation fee, which includes unlimited messaging with our medical team for a year. Then our partner lab will mail you a kit in discreet packaging. We'll bill your insurance (the cost is covered by many plans) or you can pay with a credit card.
Follow the simple instructions to collect your sample. Use the pre-paid label and box to send it to the lab for testing.
Once your sample is tested, our medical team will get in touch to discuss results and next steps.
HPV is a very common sexually-transmitted virus. An estimated 75% of sexually active adults have had it. While there are more than 150 different strains of HPV, our home test screens for the 14 high-risk strains that potentially lead to cervical cancer.
Without testing it’s hard to tell if you have HPV. Most women don’t experience symptoms. For some, the virus clears without treatment. While with others, it persists unnoticed for years.
Your Nurx home tests will be analyzed at our partner laboratory, Molecular Testing Labs™ (or MTL for short). MTL is a state-of-the-art lab that specializes in complex molecular testing and is CAP-accredited, meaning that it meets the scientifically rigorous standards of the College of American Pathologists. MTL is also CLIA-approved, achieving the US government’s standards of quality and safety under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments. Your personal information is always anonymized and your personal health information is protected according to HIPAA law.
Please note, if you pay with insurance, MTL will bill the cost of the lab testing to your insurance (does not include price at checkout). Any out of pocket costs after your insurance is billed will depend on whether your insurance is in-network with the lab, and your specific plan’s coverage.
Once your sample has been tested, a medical provider will reach out to discuss your results and next steps.
Negative result: The lab did not detect high-risk HPV strains, so your risk of developing cervical cancer is extremely low. No additional screening is needed for 3 years for women over 30. If you are under 30 it is still recommended that you get a pap smear every 3 years.
Positive result: This means the lab detected one or more high-risk strains of HPV. This is not a cancer diagnosis. It just means you are at a higher likelihood of getting cervical cancer. We advise following up in person with your women’s healthcare provider for routine monitoring and testing.
