A member asked:
My daughter asked for hpv test w/pap. test says all norm, even hpv but then says "hpv dna testing not performed" huh? isnt dna how they test for hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV: As a general rule hpv testing by dna hybridization is not done unless the results of the pap smear are equivocal, because of the costs and minimal benefit after a completely normal pap.
