The Government s commitment to providing a new self-test for human papillomavirus (HPV) is great news , says a women s health expert - but something must be implemented in the interim while the swab is developed.
On Sunday, the Government announced $53 million will be put towards the development and implementation of a new self-swab test for HPV, the virus responsible for 99 percent of cervical cancers, in Budget 2021.
Clinical modelling predicts the self-swab will prevent around 400 additional cervical cancers over 17 years, and will save around 138 additional lives.
The upcoming changes will be rolled out from 2023 - but women s health expert Professor Bev Lawton from Victoria University says a solution must be implemented in the interim. This is really good news. We ve got to wait two years, which is unfortunate. I think in the meantime, we need to have some form of interim solution for those women who are under-screened - or never screened. And everyone has to keep getting their smears while we wait for the programme. Two years is a long time, she said.
Health workers at the frontline of fighting high rates of cervical cancer among Māori women say a new, easier, test is promising but it isn t a one-stop fix.

The government is to change its cervical cancer screening programme in 2023 to a vaginal swab for the HPV virus which causes 99 percent of cervical cancers.
Women could choose to do it themselves, and it would replace the current pap smear screening which needed a doctor or nurse to use a speculum and tiny brush to take cells from the cervix.
