• Patients aged 21-24: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and, when the result is ASC-US, a high-risk HPV mRNA test will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients aged 25-29: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and, when the result is ASC-US, a high-risk HPV mRNA test will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients aged 30-65: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and a high-risk HPV mRNA test. When the Pap result is negative but the HPV mRNA screen is positive, Genotyping for HPV mRNA 16, 18/45 will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients falling outside of the above age ranges, or without a date of birth, will receive an Image-guided Pap. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
