Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death, with over 300,000 women losing their lives to it every year. 99% of cases are linked to HPV. Sadly, 45% of young women under 35 avoid screenings due to embarrassment and fear.
Viwipe is the world's first non-invasive, low-cost, paper-based HPV self-tests to prevent cervical cancer among young women. Applying the overlooked menstrual blood and paper-based technology, Viwipe’s self-tests can be easily used like toilet paper. Through free on-campus tests and community engagement, Viwipe aims to save lives and redefine cervical health's future.
