Did you know there's now a test to detect HPV?

by Christanna, May 20, 2008 12:12PM
Cervical cancer is the only cancer with a single-known cause – the human papillomavirus (HPV). And now there is a test to detect it: the HPV test. The Pap alone is not foolproof – it can miss up to half the time! But, when combined with the Pap, the HPV test is virtually 100% accurate in identifying women at risk for cervical cancer, so they can be monitored and treated well before cancer has a chance to develop.

I want to encourage all women to ask their doctors about the HPV Test.

You Tube has an HPV Test channel with patient stories.  Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/user/DigeneHPVtest
