MWITA-WH-2026-010 · Evidence A · P1
WHO's 2026 guideline offers no-, limited- and extended-genotyping strategies for HPV DNA-positive women rather than prescribing one universal genotyping configuration.
What this does not establish
A positive HPV test or genotype is not itself a cervical cancer diagnosis.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Appropriate choice varies with programme capacity and follow-up reliability.
What would change the reading
Updated WHO genotype recommendations or new validated assays.
