Cervical cancer screening results that are negative for cytology but positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are not uncommon. One-year follow-up is suggested for patients with no history of HPV positivity under the most recent American Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) guidelines (2019). The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) among cytology-negative patients positive for HR-HPV. The diagnostic accuracy of colposcopy in these patients was investigated.
