Genital Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is one of the most
common sexually transmitted infections. There is considerable new
information about the natural history of HPV infection, the association
of different HPV types with various clinical manifestations,
HPV transmission, and methods of HPV prevention. In addition,
the Food and Drug Administration recently approved the use of a
commercially available HPV DNA test for two purposes: 1) for
the management of patients with abnormal Pap test results; and 2) as an adjunct
to the Pap test for cervical cancer screening in women
30 years and older. Currently, there is recognition that this new
information may require different approaches to cervical cancer
screening in primary care practices, and when counseling and educating
patients and their sex partners. This webcast will provide viewers
with information on cervical cancer screening guidelines and
strategies for preventing genital HPV infection, including
appropriate patient counseling messages.
