Infection of the uterine cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with dysplastic lesions that may progress t o malignancy. Certain HPV types are associated with higher risk of cervical cancer than other genital HPVs. The goal of this study was to determine if cells obtained by cervicova

A commercial HPV detection test, Hybrid Capture (HC), designed to detect 14 HPV types divided into high-risk and low-risk groups, has been evaluated. A total of 1064 scrapes from 1028 unselected women attending routine cytologic screening were tested and results were compared with those of classic c
Given the frequency and persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and associated cytological alterations in HIV-1-positive women, the incidence of uterine cervix neoplasm is likely to increase along with patient survival. More appropriate screening programs, which, in addition to Pap smear
## Abstract To test the reliability of the Hybrid Capture II (HCβII) assay detecting 13 highβrisk human papillomavirus (HRβHPV) types for the screening of cervical lesions, we monitored by cytology, HRβHPV testing, colposcopy and biopsy, 3,091 women with normal smears at the first entry. Our primar
