Cystic fibrosis and HPV: new study aims to protect Women's health
NCT ID NCT03052556
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how common human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and abnormal cervical cells are in women with cystic fibrosis (CF). Researchers tested 85 women using Pap smears and HPV DNA tests. The goal was to understand infection rates and how long the virus lasts, so doctors can improve screening and encourage HPV vaccination for women with CF.
