The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) has developed new patient guidelines that recommend testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) for the
millions of women each year who receive abnormal results known as ASCUS
following their routine Pap test. According to the guidelines, an ASCUS
(atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) Pap test followed
by HPV testing should identify most patients with a higher risk of cervical
cancer, while reducing unnecessary follow-up procedures in women with no
disease. Please visit www.thehpvtest.com for more information.
