- Abstract
In the last few years much attention has been focused on the implementation of human papillomavirus detection in population based screening programmes to identify women at risk for cervical cancer. Short-term fluctuations in prevalence of human papillomavirus were investigated within a single menstrual cycle. The highest prevalence was found at the follicular phase (55%), whereas the cumulative prevalence was 75%.
