In light of all this, experts say that clinical laboratorians must prepare to advise health systems and...

Many people who contract the virus experience no symptoms, and the infection goes away on its own. For others, HPV can develop into cervical, penile, anal or other forms of cancer.

"We do have the potential, through vaccination and also preventativ...
