“Cervical health is just as important as all other aspects of physical health. In the last 15 years testing availability was able to help lower the number of women being killed by cervical cancer. The raw facts are simply that 1 in 5 cervical cancers are missed via HPV primary screening. Choosing to do BOTH Pap and HPV co-test can lead to the best chance of detecting cervical cancer early. Studies and statistics show that the Pap and HPV Co-test in particular has caught 94.1% of cervical cancers and 99.7% of cervical pre-cancers, and has successfully identified 70% of cancers that were missed by the HPV test alone.
