As I understand it, the HVP test detects only the high risk types you listed. Since HPV can persist for many years, the question is what is the appropriate monitoring? How often should the HPV test be given once HPV is tested positive? Annual Pap or more frequent? Annual colposcopy is positive? What additional monitoring should be performed if HPV positive for many years? Is annual monitoring enough?
