Is it normal to be HPV negative with no intraepithelial lesions on TCT?

TCT (cervical liquid-based cytology) shows no intraepithelial lesions and HPV (human papillomavirus) is negative, which means that the results of both tests are normal. TCT is a cytologic examination of the cells at the squamous-columnar junction of the cervix, and the absence of intraepithelial lesions proves that no intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer has been detected in this examination, which is a normal result. HPV is the human papillomavirus, which is a virus that screens the body for infection, and a negative HPV test result means that the body is not infected. Women who are sexually active generally need to be screened for TCT and HPV once a year as a routine checkup for early detection and treatment.
