NEWLY Released Guidelines From Major Professional Organizations Guide Pap/HPV Frequency and Triage.
The release of pap and HPV test guidelines has come about after recent literature and research review.
Among the conclusions...
No paps OR HPV testing for patients under 21.
Pap screening alone every 3 years for patients 21-29.
If negative pap and HPV +, follow-up with 'co-testing' in a year OR HPV 16/18 testing on current sample.
Pap/HPV 'co-testing' for patients 30-65 (every 5 years).
Age 65 and older, no screening if patient has adequate prior negative history.
After hysterectomy, NO screening if no history of CIN 2 and above in the last 20 years.
