@hailey_pettit, @antonia_rubell, @hans love to see tech innovators help make women's health a priority. Any plans for international roll out? Does the at home HPV screen kit completely replace the need for regular smear tests, or is this to be thought of as a complementary addition? Thanks!

@antonia_rubell @hans @emilyjsnowdon Hi Emily! Right now we are focused on our efforts in the US but thanks for the support and hopefully we'll be rolling out internationally sooner rather than later! As for who the Home HPV screening kit is a good option for, recently updated guidelines provide women 30 and older with three options to check their risk for cervical cancer: get a pap smear every three years, get a pap smear and HPV test every five years, or get an HPV test every five years. We started offering our Home HPV screening kit because it not only meets guidelines on cervical cancer screening, but it's also a great option for women who don't have easy access to a doctor, don't have health insurance, or are simply looking for a more convenient way to get screened. We work closely with all of our patients to guide them on what the best option is for them. Thanks for commenting! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Product Hunt fam! I'm happy to introduce the new Nurx at-home HPV screening kit! It is the most convenient and cost effective way for women to get tested for HPV, the most common STI with an estimated 75% of sexually active adults testing positive. It is also one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. Nurx is a new kind of consumer health company, committed to giving people better control of their healthcare decisions. In a big step forward for judgement-free care, Nurx’s Home HPV test kit is another example of how the company is making it easy, convenient, and affordable to get the information you need to make better decisions about your health. I'm happy to answer any questions here. Happy hunting!
