The scenario:
A 29 year-old patient (they/them) is transferring care into your practice. They show you that their medical record from a previous provider, pulled up on their phone, includes an ASCUS cytology with reflex positive Human Papillomavirus (HPV) three months ago without follow-up. They pull up other records on their cell phone of a prior normal cytology test at age 26. “What do I do now? I’m worried that I have cancer.”
