A member asked:
What does a cervical biopsy (for abnormal cells) test for and detect exactly?? can it detect the genital warts or herpes virus? any other stis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cell changes: It tests for cell changes that could be precancerous as well as the HPV virus. In addition if they see warts or other changes, then they can diagnose these as well.
