No HPV testing under 21 HPV reflex if ASC-US: over 21 through 30 HPV and Cytology at 30 if no risk factors and prior paps NIL Jennifer Small, MSN,WHNP -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Garry E. Siegel, M.D. Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 3:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Gyn: Cervical Cancer Screening Dear all: If you are 30 or more, you can do both, and if both are negative, the patient is good for 3 years without screening. It is inappropriate under 30 due to the high prevalence of HPV in that age group. Our "routine" paps include reflex testing for high risk HPV on all patient, UNLESS we order both cytology and HPV in the 30+ people as primary screening. ASCCP has guidelines, as does ACOG, for this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
