HPV: Human Papillomavirus
Where can I go for more information and support?
Duke students who want additional information about HPV, abormal Pap smears, dysplasia, and/or colposcopy can make an appointment to see a Health Education Specialist one-on-one at the Student Health Center. The health educator is available to answer any of your questions about HPV, as well as any other reproductive health issues that you would like to know more about.
To make an appointment, call 919-681-WELL and ask to schedule an HPV consultation with Lindsey Bickers Bock.
