Why this petition matters

Women demand the OPTION to SCREEN OURSELVES for CERVICAL CANCER in the comfort of our own homes

It's the #1 cancer between ages 35-44.

SELF TESTING overcomes BARRIERS to getting tested:

  • FEAR: 1 in 3 women and more than half of transgender people report sexual violence
  • ANXIETY with a gyne exam
  • Body SHAME
  • No AVAILABILITY (don't have a family doctor, nurse practitioner or PA)
  • Missed WORK/CHILDCARE
  • Limited clinic  hours

Just like for COVID-19, testing can be done at home for HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)

-It's the SOLE cause of  99% of cervical cancers

-It's detected with a simple SWAB inserted into the vagina

-It costs LESS than a pap smear

-It's done just ONCE every 5 years
