A 16-year-old girl attends her general practice for a routine health check required before a school leadership camp. She is well, her growth is on the 50th centile and her immunisations are up to date. Interviewed alone, she says she has had two male partners since she was 15 and uses condoms most of the time. She has no discharge, pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding, and has never had any sexual health testing. Her mother, waiting outside, has asked whether she should now be having the cervical test. Which one of the following screening tests should be offered at this visit?
