HPV Reporting Change
As Physicians Laboratory transitions its methodologies to FDA approved technologies for determining HPV, we are reclassifying several HPV types as 'low risk' that we formerly reported as 'high risk'.  Additional reclassification will come with the new methodology.  All HPV types formerly classified as 'unknown risk' are reclassified as 'low risk'; types 53, 81, 82, 83, and 62 are reclassified as 'low risk' effective 1 May 2010.
