Here are a few key facts about HPV
Hi Angela–
I’ve been trying to spread the word about HPV and it’s link to cervical cancer and wanted to give you a head’s up about the HPV Test. (I read your recent HPV post).
There are some good patient testimonial videos at: www.youtube.com/profile?user=DigeneHPVtest
Here are a few key facts:
1.) The pap alone is not foolproof in detecting HPV– it can miss up to half of the time.
2.) But when combined with the Pap, the HPV test is virtually 100% accurate in identifying women at risk for cervical cancer.
3.) Cervical cancer is the only cancer with a single-known cause–the human papilloma virus.
4.) Approx. 80% of women will get one or more types of HPV by age 50.
There’s more information about the test at www.thehpvtest.com
