How often should someone use an HPV test kit?

ANSWER

According to the sources, there is no specific recommendation for how often someone should use an HPV test kit.

However, routine use of the HPV test kit under age 30 is not recommended, nor is it very helpful, as HPV infections often clear on their own within a year or two [0].

HPV testing with an optional Pap

HPV testing recommend for women ages 30 or older, so the recommendation is for HPV testing with an optional Pap test every five years [1].

Every 5 years or cytology alone every 3 years

The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that women ages 25 undergo cervical screening and primary HPV testing every 5 years through age 65.

Because if primary HPV testing isn’t available, the ACS recommends screening with co-testing every 5 years or cytology alone every 3 years [2].
