Wow - how the propaganda works.

@MicrobiomDigest's "vaginal microbiome PCR test" is NOT a cervical screening test. It's a scam to make women feel bad about their vagina.

I've deleted this tweet to avoid it being misrepresented.

Here is the original thread that exposes it, explaining specifically that the genuine PCR tests can be obtained from your doctor - usually for free.

So, rather than unblock me to answer the very pertinent questions I raised in that thread @microbiomdigest has tried to conflate her "vaginal microbiome PCR test" with the official cancer screening test - it is totally different.

Here you are - the "V" test check your "vaginal type" and "your bacterial balance"

No HPV testing. No that's another $50... and it isn't the officially recognised HPV test.

Not accredited for cervical screening.

None of this has a good evidence base, it is just a money making enterprise preying on women's insecurities like the "Goop" scandal

Please do not fall for this.
If you have vaginal symptoms see your doctor.
If you need regular or ad hoc STI screening, see a certified specialist or GP.
If your country has a cervical screening program (usually for free), join it.

Avoid one-eye companies

For more clarity "cervical screening test" in this context refers to the HPV DNA PCR test for cervical cancer screening.

Most countries use this as the primary test, in conjunction with or as a replacement for the traditional "pap test"

And if you want to know more about vaginal flora this is not a bad article.
