    If a woman is in a lifetime mutually monogamous relationship this means no HPV and no risk from cc - it also means having pap tests exposes you to risk for no benefit. All women are seriously over-screened here...and receive no unbiased information which means informed consent is impossible. Screening programs are supposed to respect the legal and ethical requirement of informed consent, but this has always been denied to women.

    The Delphi Screener would confirm these women are negative for HPV and not at risk and don't need any further testing. ( if their risk profile changes in the future, they may care to re-test for HPV)
