The smear test alternative

Protect yourself from cervical cancer with our simple, pain-free, at-home HPV tests

FAQs

Should I see my GP after a Thyia test?

After completing a Thyia test, if you have received a positive result or have any concern it is recommended to discuss your results with your GP. Your GP can provide further advice, support, and necessary referrals for additional tests or treatments if needed. Even if your result is negative, staying in touch with your GP for regular health check-ups and following national screening guidelines is beneficial.

What should I do if I receive a positive HPV result?

If you receive a positive HPV result, it's important to follow up with your GP or a healthcare provider. They may recommend further tests, such as a repeat HPV test, a Pap smear, or a colposcopy, to closely monitor any changes in your cervical cells. It's also essential to attend all recommended follow-up appointments and screenings.

What does a negative HPV test result mean?

A negative HPV test result indicates that high-risk HPV types were not detected in your cervical sample. This result is reassuring and suggests a low risk of developing cervical cancer. However, it's important to continue following routine cervical screening recommendations to ensure any future changes are detected early.
