We just had a journal club on this issue. The official ACOG/Preventative Services Task Force recommendation is in the patient over 30 who you do Pap + HPV, with a positive HPV, negative PAP, repeat both studies in 6-12 months. At that time,:

Negative pap, negative HPV - routine followup Negative pap, Positive HPV - colposcopy ASCUS pap, Negative HPV - Routine followup Pap >ASCUS, any HPV - colposcopy.

Hope this helps

For the best answer to your question you must read the article by Kenneth Noller in the ugust 2005 issue of the Green Journal. You will find his comment that if you are not screening for high risk HPV only you shoould do so even if you must change labs .. A low risk means nothing. Secondly, if it is 16 or 18 she needs colposcopy. If it is negative for high risk HPV she needs a pap in one year. Other recommendations and sensible algorithms are also in the article..Including paps only 1 2-3 yrs in women over age 30 with a neg PAP hx. I suspect her previous freeze was for low grade .

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.
