Why do I need a SENTIS™ HPV DNA Test?
1
All Women should Test Regularly
Women aged 25-64 years with sexual experience are recommended to receive regular cervical cancer screening
2
HPV vaccination does not protect all high-risk types
HPV vaccination does not include all high-risk HPV types nor against existing HPV infection, so there is a need for regular cervical cancer screening
3
High-risk groups for cervical cancer
Individuals with an elevated risk of cervical cancer, such as women with early sexual intercourse, multiple sexual partners, habitual smoking and other risk factors should test regularly
