A member asked:
Is hpv testing beneficial in symptomatic people i.e with bleeding between periods, or should it only be used as a screening program for asymptomatic?

A PAP smear is a better test than testing for antibodies to HPV. Get HPV vaccine even if you have infection with one strain. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
