DNA testing to determine the strain of HPV present is not routinely done at this time; talk with your colposcopist to find out if the test is available to you at an extra cost. Also, testing to *prove* the existence of HPV directly is not done, but certain changes in the cells are highly suggestive of HPV infection. -- Patti Tessler, BSN, MSN, RN, CS Family Nurse Practitioner Next message: D.N.: "Re: Does anybody know anything about the Vaginal Estrogen Ring" Previous message: Patti Tessler, FNP: "Re: ARE WE OR ARE WE NOT?"
