I am not sure how accurate these tests will be 
.My previous tests were done by a doctor or nurse and always with the aid of a speculum to enable the collection of cells from deep inside the cervix not just a bit of a scrape with a cotton bud from the entrance to the cervix.
This is should an important test which can mean life or death to a woman, I think it is essential it is done properly.

Those were my thoughts exactly, Meg.
I can understand some women not wanting to have this procedure, it's not my idea of a fun day out either, but I can't help but doubt the accuracy of a DIY kit, used by untrained people.
It may well detect some problems, but do I wonder how many will be missed if the person has not done it properly.

I have real doubts about the test . My niece was found to have pre cancerous cells high up in the cervix and was treated for them. Would some home test have found these...
