Abstract

A 28-year-old woman visits her gynaecologist for a routine health examination. She had no prior STD infection and her medical history doesn’t indicate any significant past diseases. She recently got married, is sexually active with her husband and they use condom inconsistently, and she had three prior sexual partners before her husband. The results from her gynaecologic examination were unremarkable. Is it recommended for this woman to be screened for HPV infection, and if so, how?
