    HPV High risk?
    I had a physical the other day and I was looking at the labs she ordered. One of them says: SUREPATH PAP HPV (high risk) is that just a test? Or does that mean she thinks I have it AAAAAH?:confused::eek::(

    It's just the name of the test. This test check for more strains of HPV than do other tests.

    Lol I couldn't breathe for a second when I read that because I was thinking WHY didn't she say something if she thought I was high risk? It's already nerve wracking enough waiting for all the test results! Haha

    Yes, shows a need for a better name for a test, or doctor to explain what tests they are doing.
