Bennett KF, et al. - In several countries, cytology-based screening has now been replaced by human papillomavirus (HPV)-based cervical screening consequently providing HPV-positive results in many women in screening programmes. As HPV is of sexually transmitted nature, researchers reviewed the quantitative and qualitative literature examining women’s concerns about disclosing a high-risk cervical HPV infection to a sexual partner. Searching MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science and EMBASE, they identified 13 articles for inclusion (12 qualitative, 1 quantitative).  In the quantitative study, HPV result disclosure was felt ‘risky’ by 60% of HPV-positive women. Concerns about HPV result disclosure to a sexual partner were noted to be impacted by the stigma that is linked with having an STI and uncertainty concerning how their partner would respond. Women interrogate how, when and to whom disclosure of their HPV-positive status should be done.
