If no HPV I feel comfortable not performing annual Pap exams; however if non-monogamous I feel it is necessary to check for all STDs, and that includes HPV. -- Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Frances Wren Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 12:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Cervical Cancer Screening appaerently because young women will often clear their HPV, it is considered unecessary to do their hpv status simply as a routine. so i do not do it.till after 30years . frances wren >----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Chudacoff" <rchudacoff@mylinuxisp.com> To: "Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L" <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 9:30 AM Subject: Re: Cervical Cancer Screening >I perform an HPV test on all patients if their status is unknown.

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.
