Cervical cancer screening is currently a double screening, which means that an HPV test and cervical cytology are required. How long it takes for the results of the screening to come back cannot be generalized, but depends on the hospital’s setup. Usually the results of cervical cytology are available within 2 working days and cervical HPV testing within 3 to 5 working days. Cervical cytology, the current clinic mostly take cervical liquid-based thin-layer cytology, also known as cervical TCT test, this test program is generally 2 working days out of the results, but if the hospital is larger, more specimens, may be a little later, need to be about 5 working days. Cervical HPV test, this test is to see if there is HPV virus infection, the time to get the result is usually 3 to 5 working days. The above mentioned hospitals have laboratory and pathology departments, which can test these two programs. However, some hospitals are not able to do cervical TCT or HPV tests, and need to send the specimen to a third-party testing unit, then the time to get the results may take 5 to 7 days. To summarize, usually for cervical cancer screening, the results are available in 3 to 5 days, but some hospitals may take about 7 days, please consult your local hospital for details.
