Could it be a good idea to test for hpv before getting a cervical cancer vacine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be: Possible to check for hpv, but I do not know if there are assays for either anti-hpv antidoy or cellular immunity against serotypes 16 & 18. Likely more expensive than gardisil.
