DID YOU KNOW THERE IS NO HPV DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR BOYS & MEN YET?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the MOST COMMON sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Some health effects caused by HPV can be prevented by the HPV vaccines.
You can help protect your son or daughter.
HPV can cause certain cancers and diseases later in life for both men and women. That's why many healthcare professionals and awareness/prevention advocates recommend the best time to help protect your child is before they’re exposed to the virus.

Some types of HPV can lead to certain cancers and diseases later in life for both males and females. To learn more about the consequences of HPV, ask your health care professional.
The HPV test is only available for women 30 years of age and older according to "my lab box" website which sells the test for $79.00. The test should not be ordered by men of any age or by women under 30 years old.

Changes to Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines
August 2018 the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced updates to its cervical cancer screening guidelines. USPSTF recommendations now include three options for women and their healthcare providers for cervical cancer screening tests, expanding its recommendations for this potentially life-saving screening.
What's New?
The major change in the current recommendation is that the USPSTF now recommends screening every five years with high-risk HPV testing (hrHPV) alone as an alternative to screening every three years with Pap testing alone among women aged 30 to 65 years.
The guidance also includes a recommendation for hrHPV and Pap co-testing every five years for women in the same age group.
Why this change?
The USPSTF reviewed evidence to compare different screening methods (such as hrHPV testing alone, hrHPV and Pap co-testing) when decided on new recommendations. You can review the evidence used here.
Does this apply to all women?
No. USPSTF recommends against screening:
-
Women under 21
-
Women older than 65 who have had adequate prior screening and are not otherwise at high risk
-
Women who have had a hysterectomy (with removal of the cervix), unless they have a have a history of a high-grade precancerous lesions.
The guidelines for women aged 21-65 are general recommendations. Some women, such as women with a history of precancerous lesions or cervical cancer, may need to screened more often. Women should always consult their healthcare provider.
Why is screening important?
Cervical cancer can be prevented with regular screening and early detection. Each year in the US alone, more than 13,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and more than 4,000 women die of the disease. Regular screening with Pap and hrHPV testing—in addition to vaccination—can help prevent cervical cancer and save lives.

COLLEGE STUDENT ALERT
The Center for Disease Control reports:
One study of college students showed that in 91 percent of women with new HPV infections, HPV became undetectable within two years. HPV is the number one sexually-transmitted disease on college campuses. It might be the number one disease, but the majority of those infected with it won't have any actual signs of carrying the disease, even though it can still be transmitted to another partner. Some HPV infections resolve themselves, but other kinds can cause genital warts and cervical cancer. Students should take advantage of HPV vaccines, now widely available, to help protect themselves.
