PA state Medicaid covers HPV testing when medically indicated. Routine screening for HPV is not a recommended test.

It is likely that HPV testing will come into use as a primary screening tool for cervical cancer starting in 2015 and 2016. It is now part of the ASCCP's recommendations.

Not if hpv is not included in testing - and still it is not always part of standard testing. So women must ask and make sure that hpv screening is done. In some places and some times HPV is tested, in many places is not. It's on us to make sure we are tested.

No. Talk with your health care provider about appropriate ongoing screening.

There is no routine screening test for human papilloma virus (HPV) or genital herpes.
