Abstract
Preview Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the United States, and evidence that HPV plays a central role in the development of cervical cancer and its precursors is growing. Recent innovations in detection techniques have permitted progress in HPV epidemiology, which in turn has fueled new clinical controversies. This article outlines some recent advances in technology and the questions that remain concerning management of cervical HPV infection.Keywords
