The Cervix Self-Screening Pilot Project is coordinated by the Alberta Cervical Cancer Screening Program (ACCSP) in Alberta Health Services. This is a research project focused on Indigenous, newcomer, and rural/remote Albertans to screen for cervical cancer using the Cervix Self-Screening Test Kit (HREBA.CC-23-0071).

Cervix self-screening is easy, painless, and very accurate. It’s free of charge.

Here’s how it works:

  • Collect your sample in a place you are comfortable. Follow the instructions in the kit.
  • Drop off your completed kit at a Canada Post office or mailbox on the same day you collect your sample.
  • The lab will test your sample for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • Results should be available within 4 to 6 weeks. You can see your results online (MyHealth Records or MyAHS Connect) and get a mailed copy.
  • If no HPV is found in your sample, you don’t need to screen for cervical cancer for 3 to 5 years.

If you are not eligible for cervix self-screening, please talk to your healthcare provider. Screening is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself against cervical cancer.
