| Re: hpv testing
I recently changed gyno's due to the fact that my doctor was always booked: so i changed to male doctor figuring he'd be more readily available and sure enough I can book an appointement the same day with him.
Well anyway I went for a regular checkup and found out I have low risk hpv-
I was and still am devasted by the news.
So I called my old gyno and asked about my previous checkup in feb-they told me my pap smear was fine and therefore dont take an additional step foward to test for hpv.
My current doctor test for hpv low and high risk for all patients.
I was reading that they dont generally test for hpv-low or high risk for woman under 30-if the pap smear comes back normal- I think this is ridiculous.
Most dont do a low risk hpv test by the way-one is mostly diagnosed with symtoms of genital warts
