If I may contribute briefly, Australia has HPV testing. It has been rolled out very successfully and it is in line to eradicate cervical cancer within the next ten years. How quickly was this testing rolled out? In an international context, what is the quickest the change from screening to HPV testing ever been done? How fast can we do it, if we do not let the laboratory that did it before do it?
