A Quezon City resident shared that they finally received free HPV screening after waiting two years for a suitable schedule. The post advises women aged 30 to 65 to watch for announcements about free screening in their barangays; it does not specify a date, venue, or organizer. The poster says private HPV screening costs at least ₱7,000, so a free community service may make screening more accessible. HPV screening can help identify risks related to cervical cancer. The post identifies women aged 30 to 65 as the group to watch for announcements, but provides no registration instructions, schedule, or exact barangay location. Check with your barangay for current availability and requirements before making plans.
Background
HPV testing is one type of cervical screening; it checks a sample of cells from the cervix for human papillomavirus. The World Health Organization notes that cervical cancer is the only HPV-caused cancer for which screening tests are currently available, and early diagnosis can help treatment begin sooner.
