In Estonia, women aged 30–65 years are invited to participate in cervical cancer screening at five-year intervals. Cervical cancer screening is a health examination designed to study healthy women who have no complaints or symptoms to prevent cervical cancer. Participation in screening is FREE, even if you do not currently have health insurance.

To order an HPV self-sampling kit, please log in using your ID-card, Mobile-ID or Smart-ID, enter your telephone number, e-mail address and select a suitable parcel method (Omniva regular mail, Omniva parcel terminal, or Smartpost parcel terminal). After placing the order, an order confirmation will be sent to your e-mail address or mobile phone, and you will receive a sampling kit with instructions and a return envelope within 10 working days via parcel method you have selected. Posting the sample to the lab is prepaid and free of charge for you.

Your participation in screening will provide you with important information about your health and will help to prevent cervical cancer. You will be informed in person of your test result. A positive HPV test result does not mean that you have precancerous lesions or cancer, it means that you need additional examinations. All additional examinations required are also free for you.

Additional information about cervical cancer screening can be found on the website of Estonian Health Insurance Fund <a href='https://www.tervisekassa.ee/en/people/screenings' target='_blank'>https://www.tervisekassa.ee/en/people/screenings</a> or by calling the information line +372 669 6630.

Cervical cancer screening

This year we are offering you the opportunity to choose whether to provide a sample for HPV at the clinic or to perform a self-sampling test for HPV. Choosing between the two screening methods is voluntary. Participation in screening is FREE, even if you do not currently have health insurance.

If you order the HPV self-sampling kit in December, we kindly ask you to mail the sample as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can deliver the sample to your nearest SYNLAB sample collection site. Only samples that reach the laboratory by January 31, 2025, will be analyzed.

If you have ordered the self-sampling kit, but have not yet posted the sample, please do it as soon as possible. The lab will analyze samples that arrive no later than January 31, 2025.

The possibility to order an HPV self-sampling test is finished.

You cannot order a test, because either you have already participated in screening this year, you do not belong to the target group or you have already submitted an order. In case of any questions please contact: klienditugi@synlab.ee, phone 17123/+3726408231 (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm)

Your participation in screening will provide you with important information about your health and will help to prevent cervical cancer. You will be informed in person of your test result. A negative HPV test result means that you do not need additional examinations. A positive HPV test result does not mean that you have precancerous lesions or cancer, it means that you need additional examinations. All additional examinations required are also free for you.

What does the HPV self-sampling test result show?

Screening is a health examination primarily intended for healthy women without complaints or symptoms, in order to prevent cervical cancer. In Estonia, women aged 30–65 years are invited to participate in cervical cancer screening at five-year intervals. Women who have undergone a partial or complete removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) are also welcome to undergo screening. Cervical cancer does not have a hereditary link, which means that anyone can be at risk, regardless of age. The primary cause of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is mainly transmitted sexually. HPV infection can cause changes in the cells that can lead to precancerous conditions and cervical cancer, without any symptoms. Participation in screening helps to detect possible cell changes and pre-cancerous conditions early when they are still treatable. NB! Screening does not replace regular gynaecological check-ups, which we recommend for all women to undergo every 1–2 years, even in the absence of any complaints.
