This is a really good thing. Apart from the goal eventually being a home test-

Most primary care doctors don’t perform pelvic exams, meaning patients traditionally have to go to a gynecologist-obstetrician (OB-GYN) if they want to screen for cervical cancer.

That’s something their insurance might not cover. It also means free clinics can do it. My hope is this saves a lot of lives.

Just to understand this correctly, prior to this you would have to have a very-personal and VERY-uncomfortable examination of your genitals, and even sometimes see a specialist instead of a gp, but now have a self-test as an option? If so, I can imagine that that would be incredibly preferable
