More personalised cervical screening
More accurate human papillomavirus (HPV) testing will enable women and people with a cervix in England to benefit from more personalised cervical screening. From July, younger women (aged 25 to 49) who test negative for HPV, meaning they are at very low risk of cervical cancer over the next 10 years, will safely be invited at five-year intervals rather than three, in line with clinical evidence.
