How does a Pap test detect HPV?
A Pap test does not test for the presence of HPV. If the Pap test shows that there are abnormal tissues around the cervix, then a culture will be done for HPV. If the culture tests positive, a LEEP procedure will often be performed to remove the abnormal cervical tissues.
