Abstract Human papillomavirus testing is becoming an integral component of cervical cancer screening. Market forces will require most laboratories that perform Papanicolaou tests to develop a system for handling human papillomavirus testing also. Data and information are presented that may facilitate laboratories when addressing the following issues in the process of developing a human papillomavirus testing service: Which methodology is the best fit for the laboratory? Is it better to develop an in-house testing service or to send it out? How do I get started? What are the financial and economic issues, and how should they be managed?

Abstract Integrating human papillomavirus (HPV) testing into the practice of cervical cancer screening is a continuous process that begins and ends with education. An understanding of the basic science and clinical relevance are critical to proper implementation. One must have knowledge of one's own laboratory statistics, clinician awareness, and market forces before the final steps are taken. Additional logistical issues are often laboratory specific or state specific, but are addressed here.
