In the United States, high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is recommended for women with atypical squamous cells of unknown significance (ASC‐US) cytology, and co‐testing with cytology and HPV is a recommended option for screening women aged ≥30 years. No population‐based data are available...

Description
Summary:In the United States, high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is recommended for women with atypical squamous cells of unknown significance (ASC‐US) cytology, and co‐testing with cytology and HPV is a recommended option for screening women aged ≥30 years. No population‐based data are available to examine utilization of HPV testing in the United States. Using the New Mexico HPV Pap Registry data resource, we describe population trends (2007–2012) in utilization and positivity rates for HPV testing as a routine co‐testing screening procedure and for triage of ASC‐US and other cytologic outcomes. For women aged 30–65 years co‐testing increased from 5.2% in 2007 to 19.1% in 2012 (p
