More accurate human papillomavirus (HPV) testing will enable millions of women and people with a cervix in England to benefit from more personalised cervical screening.

From July 2025, younger women (aged 25-49) 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 5-year intervals rather than 3, in line with major clinical evidence.

Those whose sample indicates the presence of HPV or who have a recent history of HPV, which causes nearly all cervical cancers, will continue to be invited to more frequent screenings (every 3 years) to check HPV has cleared and if not, if any cell changes have developed. The move follows a recommendation by the UK National Screening Committee, and is the approach already used for women aged 50-64 in England.
