The cervical screening test is a new more effective test for cervical cancer, replacing the Pap test in 2017. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"\">What To Expect From A Cervical Screen Test<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cervical Screening tests are much like the old Pap tests. Your doctor or nurse takes a sample of cells from the cervix and sends them to a laboratory to be analyzed. Your doctor will discuss the results with you and recommend the next steps depending on the outcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: rgb(155, 119, 102);\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\/\/<\/span> Negative HPV Result<\/strong> &#8211; You do not need to have another cervical screening test for 5 years. <br \/><strong><span style=\"color: rgb(155, 119, 102);\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\/\/<\/span> Positive HPV Result<\/strong> &#8211; A positive result doesn&#8217;t automatically mean cancer but the individual results will be discussed. <br \/><strong><span style=\"color: rgb(155, 119, 102);\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;\/\/<\/span> Unclear Results<\/strong> &#8211; If the test comes back inconclusive, you may be required to come back within 6-12 weeks for an additional test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cervical Screening tests are much like the old Pap tests.
