So quick and easy! Not to mention painless! It was a great first experience self-screening.
Loved everything about this at home screening and so thankful this exists!
The Teal Wand is very easy to use and I was in the comfort of my home. Grateful to Teal Health for this service.

Frequently asked questions
If you followed the instructions provided, you can feel confident that you have used the Teal Wand correctly. 98% of users successfully collected a valid sample.
Don't worry, if you don't collect enough sample, the HPV test will not report a result (instead, the outcome will show up as ‘invalid’). If this happens, we will contact you to discuss next steps.
Your results will be available in your Teal portal about one week after you send your sample to the lab. You will be notified via email and text when the results are ready to view.
Yes, once you have registered with Teal and before we ship your self-collection kit, you will meet with a Teal provider for a brief 10-minute virtual Intro Visit. During the visit, the provider will review your screening history, discuss the at-home self-collection process, and prescribe the Teal Wand kit if you are eligible.
Teal providers will also be available virtually throughout your at-home screening experience and will advise on next steps once your results are available.
Yes, the Teal Wand received FDA authorization after a rigorous nationwide clinical trial in which the Teal Wand was compared to the in-person exam with a speculum and brush. The clinical performance matched the in-person screening experience, and the Teal Wand was overwhelmingly preferred, with 94% of the participants stating they preferred the Wand to the current standard of screening. Learn more about the clinical trial.
Screening for HPV using the Teal Wand is an alternative to screening in-person for your Pap smear (cervical cancer screening). Therefore, once you have screened using the Teal Wand, you will not need to repeat the test in-office with the clinician.
Teal medical providers will review your results and recommend next steps (if applicable). Abnormal (positive for HPV) results may require in-person care for additional testing, which a Teal medical provider can help to coordinate.
