MENLO PARK, Calif. – ProDx Health (@ProDxHealth), the makers of the PASS-approved Pro13 at-home health screening kits, has just unveiled its newest addition: the Trust 1 Home Collection Kit for in-home, self-tested HPV detection.
ProDx Health adheres to strict CLIA-certified lab standards and continues to innovate with additional testing services and easy, at-home testing options.
“The Trust 1 Home Collection Kit will provide significant benefits to the public and industry professionals,” ProDx Health said in its statement. “HPV – Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world right now. Various strains of HPV are associated with cancer of the cervix, anus, and other types as well. And since HPV frequently causes no outward problems, many people may be unknowing carriers and pass it along. There is no cure for the virus; however, regular testing and early detection is the best medicine to help protect your health.”
The Trust 1 Home Collection Kit allows women to test for up to 15 different HPV DNA strains. Each kit includes a user-friendly swab for easy self-collection, step-by-step instructions, and a prepaid envelope for easy return shipping. The kit is priced at $95, and ProDx Health’s certified lab usually makes results available within 48 hours after the sample arrives.
Privacy is a priority for ProDx Health. The company states that testing is 100% private and anonymous, offering professional staff on call Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST.
The company’s founder and CEO Dr. K pointed to the value of pre-emptive healthcare interventions, saying, “Despite the HPV vaccine, HPV infections are still high. The vaccine works — but even 100 percent effectiveness wouldn’t protect all of us, and not everyone gets vaccinated. When it comes to HPV, the earlier you know, the better — it gives you an opportunity to know your status and to take control of your health, so that you and your healthcare provider can work together to make informed decisions about your care. This kit easily allows anyone to take control of their health proactively.”
Features of the ProDx HPV Kit include:
Convenience and Comfort:
It is a test that women can take in the home with complete privacy, regardless of embarrassment or anxiety about going to a clinic.
Improved Accessibility:
Offers the opportunity of HPV testing to women residing in remote, underserved areas, with limited access to healthcare providers.
Early Detection:
The ability to detect high-risk HPV types early has helped to lower the risk for cervical cancer by providing interventions or treatment in a timely manner.
Privacy and Confidentiality:
The private online results give women the ability to maintain full privacy and control of their health information.
Empowering Women:
ProDx Health makes taking charge of your health and wellness easy through efficient wellness measures for women.
‘We’re not only innovating in diagnostics, but within women’s healthcare more broadly,’ says Chief Medical Officer at ProDx Health. The key is early detection of HPV, and this product brings women a convenient, reliable way to take control of their health.”
World leaders in the health community have already expressed excitement over its release, saying that improved access and speed of service could drive HPV testing forward and, in turn, potentially save many women from suffering ill effects.
