Due to the high volume of women who turned up for HPV testing on Saturday 28th January, we will not be able to offer HPV testing Sunday 29th January.<\/p>\n

We have no more kits to do HPV tests at this time but we will be sure to let the public know when it will be available again.<\/p>

As a result, women who present themselves can only be offered pap smears and breast examination.
