Hi, I’m in the process of trying to get a smear test done as I had HPV on my smear before pregnancy, then negative HPV afterwards, during which period there was a significant gap of time, and potentially cell changes could have occurred. However, due to the new system my cells weren’t looked at, so I spoke to my GP who suggested that GPs can not interfere with what is tested for but they were going to check as they agreed it sounds like a risk.
In the event of getting “computer says no” type responses from GP (not their fault, if system won’t budge) I’m looking at private. It appears a number of places do test for dyskaryosis without HPV. Thoughts?
