The Power of HPV Testing
HPV testing identifies the presence of the virus that can trigger abnormal cellular changes in the cervix.
The test involves a simple procedure where cells are collected from the cervix for laboratory analysis. This process takes just a few minutes but provides vital information about your health.
Early Detection Enhances Survival
JHAH recommends that sexually active women aged 21-64 have an HPV test done every five years. Further testing may be recommended depending on the results. Regular screenings are essential for detecting any pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, significantly improving the chances of successful treatment.
Talk to your primary care physician today about scheduling your next screening. Early detection is your best defense against cervical cancer.
The Importance of HPV Vaccination
Persistent HPV infections are a significant risk factor for cervical cancer, as they can lead to dangerous cellular changes in the cervix. Fortunately, the HPV vaccine provides a powerful shield, effectively preventing the types of HPV most commonly associated with cervical cancer.
JHAH strongly recommends that females aged 9-26 receive their first dose of the HPV vaccine. Speak with your child’s pediatric physician (ages 9-14) or primary care physician (ages 14-26) at their next appointment to ensure they are protected.
