HPV検査のガイドライン
This topic is related to this.
In the USA, three guidelines for HPV diagnostic test are published and we are able to get a lot of information from them.
Qiagen summarizes these guidelines at this HP.
HPV検査に関するガイドラインは、国によって大きく異なります。例えば米国では、下記の医療機関や学会がHPV検査を含めた子宮頸がん検査のガイドラインを発表しています。
HPV検査のガイドライン（米国のケース）
米国産婦人科学雑誌 (American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology)
米国疾病管理予防センター (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC)
米国産科婦人科学会 (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - ACOG)
We don't necessarily follow their guidelines, because the guideline should be decided by each countries.
However, I guess we should pay attention to them, because the HPV virus is known one of the causes of the cervical cancer.
Therefore, I'm thinking that it is better to get useful information form several sources for saving the infection for ourselves.
According to these guidelines, they said young women around 30 should take HPV test, periodically, because HPV virus are spread during sexual contact.
Surely, the sexual contact is related with men too, but the number of infected person are women more than men.
I think HPV virus is very terrible virus for women.
