HPV Testing

2023-09-07 17:16:30
Hi, I have done my Pap Smear and HPV DNA test in May and June as routine screening. The tests were negative. Wanted to know if I need to keep screening myself even if I am not sexually active as my results came negative. Can there be a chance that there is actually a high risk strain which the test isn't showing? Should I repeat my test?
