Good news! There are ways to prevent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection from turning into cervical cancer. Screening tests that looks for HPV DNA are more accurate than yesterday’s Pap test. And screening for high risk HPV types, that can lead to cervical cancer, to know if you are at risk, is one way to prevent disease from developing. But should you panic if you get a positive HPV test? The answer is no, and know that your situation can vary, depending upon age, screening history, and other factors. It’s always better to know, so you can take the necessary follow-up steps recommended by your healthcare provider.
