For you

Cervical cancer screening belongs with your clinician

Eden does not do Pap or HPV tests. Why screening still matters, and why a pregnancy visit is the wrong stand-in for it.

Cervical cancer is one of the more preventable cancers when screening happens on time — and many people fall behind anyway. Cost, time, embarrassment, and not having a regular clinician all get in the way.

Eden does not provide Pap tests, HPV tests, or at-home screening kits. We will not pretend a pregnancy clinic visit is a substitute for that screening.

Why it still belongs in the conversation

If you are here for a pregnancy test, an STI visit, or options information, you are already in a medical doorway. That is a reasonable moment to ask, “When was my last cervical screening, and who can do the next one?” The honest answer is usually a primary-care clinician, a gynecologist, or a health department family-planning clinic — not us.

Some companies now market at-home collection. Whether a given kit is right for you is a question for a licensed clinician who will interpret the result and know what to do if it is not normal. Do not skip follow-up because a mailbox was involved.

What we can do today

Confirm a pregnancy. Talk through what the result means. Test for STIs when that is the need. Request an appointment for that work. Put cervical screening on the list you take to the clinician who does your ongoing care.
