Cervical Cancer Screening in Asymptomatic Patients | 2023 epocrates Guideline Synthesis
Key Points
Start screening at 21 yo (25 yo, per ACS), regardless of sexual hx. Though Pap alone recommended for pts <30 yo by most, ACS now recommends primary hrHPV testing for pts ≥25 yo; USPSTF, ACOG endorse primary hrHPV testing as a screening option in pts 30-65 yo. HPV vax status doesn’t change guidance. HIV(+) warrants increased screening.
