Not sure why they didnt use the dye. I havent had one of those for a few years. I seem to remember the tech adding dye part way thru the procedure.

The CDC link is almost 2 years old so it may contain some outdated info, especially using numbers from 2004-2008. Im not sure if more recent data has been published.

One of the references was Dr Maura Gillison. OCF has worked with Dr Gillison for over 10 years, funding her research on HPV.
