1425) Now I will ask you questions about the tests that a health care professional can do to detect cervical cancer. The cervix is what connects the uterus to the vagina. To test for cervical cancer, we ask that a woman lie down on her back while spreading her legs apart. Next, using a small brush or a cotton swab, the health care professional takes a sample from the inside of the uterus. The sample is sent to a lab for testing. This test is called a Pap smear or an HPV test. There is another method called VIA or Visual Inspection with ascetic acid. During this test, the health care professional applies diluted vinegar to the cervix to see if a reaction occurs.
