Pap smears don't have to be performed in an office any longer. In Australia they are done at home via a mail in swab, which results in more people with an uterus doing it. Of course in North America it's not approved, I am sure bc it stops a billable visit.
I had an amazing coworker fro Australia- she’s moving back there now :( I asked her to take me with her 😆
American, so this is absolutely news to me. It is done in comfort at home? I’m curious how that actually works, like, aim wise.
It has been recently approved by the FDA. www.npr.org/2025/05/10/n...
That’s amazing!!!
I’m a nurse and I’m pretty sure I’d have that thing failed… don’t you need a speculum to assure you get the right sample?
