Women above 35 in U. K might soon start receiving HPV test for diagnosing cervical cancer.

HPV testing in the younger age group diagnosed the abnormal structural change in the body parts which, if treated, may cause complications during pregnancy.

Professor Kitchener, chairperson of UK's cervical screening advisory group, said, "In an era with a vaccinated cohort of women, there is a higher chance women will test negative for HPV and you can confine cytology to women who are HPV positive".

Professor Jack Cuzick and Professor Kitchener, both agrees for the counseling of women tested HPV-positive, as this is sexually- transmitted virus that can be dormant for more than six months.
79 percent of the Havering 8 years old schoolgirls had life-saving human papilloma virus (HPV) jab to 56 percent in London and 65 percent in England.

While 80 percent of the 11 years old girls are having jab as compared to 51 percent in London

Death rate due to cervical cancer in women, in Britain, is as high as 1,000 per year with 99 percent of the cases testing HPV positive.

Unprotected sexual involvement with infected partner is the most common cause for transferring HPV, though maximum HPV infections get clear up by themselves while very few of them turns into cervical cancer.

Girls between 12 and 13 years of age are being vaccinated against HPV.
