Abstract
A positive baseline HPV test in women with ASCUS or LSIL is clinically equivalent, requiring colposcopic examination and denoting an approximately one-third chance of having CIN2/3. Among women with ASCUS, a negative HPV test strongly indicates that the patient is free of CIN2/3, which should minimize a patient's anxiety and unnecessary colposcopic examinations.
