Screening algorithm with co-testing every 5 years (age 30-65). Positive HPV / abnormal cytology -> colposcopy -> biopsy -> management.

Good for

  • Patient education on what different Pap and HPV test results mean and what happens next
  • Obstetrics and gynecology teaching on ASCCP 2019 guidelines and CIN management by grade
  • Women's health blog and clinic content explaining co-testing intervals and the rationale for HPV genotyping

Source & accuracy

This pap and hpv screening is an editorial illustration built to represent the concept accurately. Where it shows figures, they are typical or representative values chosen to make the relationship clear, not a single underlying dataset. The diagram and its explainer are reviewed and maintained centrally, and updated over time as understanding improves.

Why two tests run together

Cervical screening looks for changes caused by persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection. The Pap (cytology) test examines cervical cells under a microscope for abnormal morphology, while the HPV test detects the viral DNA or RNA of high-risk types such as 16 and 18. Co-testing combines both, catching disease the other might miss.

Most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years. Screening matters because a small fraction persist and can slowly drive precancerous change over many years, leaving a long window to intervene before cancer develops.

From result to next step

Cytology results are reported using the Bethesda system, with categories such as ASC-US, LSIL, and HSIL describing increasing degrees of abnormality. A positive high-risk HPV result, or higher-grade cytology, can trigger referral for colposcopy, where the cervix is examined under magnification and biopsies may be taken.

Recommended screening intervals and starting ages differ by country and guideline and change over time, so they are not fixed rules. This is general educational information, not medical advice; follow the screening schedule and follow-up advised by your own clinician.
