Changes to smear tests will mean more HPV diagnoses but there is concern over myths about the virus.
But Kate Sanger, spokeswoman for the Trust, says that its prevalence means it is more comparable to a common cold than other STIs, so should not be viewed in the same way.
In the past, smear tests aimed to detect cell changes. But by the summer, all tests in England, Wales and Scotland are expected to screen for HPV first, to work out more accurately - and earlier on - who is at a higher risk of cervical cancer. "Being told you've got HPV doesn't mean you're dirty, it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it doesn't mean that you're any different to anyone else," she says.Jo's Cervical Cancer TrustCervical cancer survivor Nicole Davidson, 26, takes part in Jo's"smear for smear" campaign to encourage women to go for their test
Finding out that it was caused by HPV was an added stress. She had been with her partner for around five years, but began to question her sexual history and ended up taking anti-depressants.
