<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In January 2020, a different cervical cancer screening program started in Germany. Women above the age of 35 are recommended to have a combined HPV and cytology swab every three years. Showing persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), cytologic negative cervical samples at baseline and after 12 months, patients are referred to colposcopy. Entailing considerable additional workload due to the required colposcopies, we analyzed the risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 3) in cytologic negative and persistent hrHPV women according to their hrHPV genotypes.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods </jats:bold>In this single center retrospective study, patients with persistent hrHPV, cytology negative cervical samples from our certified Colposcopy Unit in 2020 and 2021 were analyzed. Patient demographics, hrHPV types, biopsy rates and histological reports were collected.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results </jats:bold>During the study, 69 patients were enrolled. Most frequent hrHPV genotypes were: hrHPV other 72.5%; HPV 16, 20.3% and HPV 18, 7.2%. Colposcopy showed no or minor changes in 92.7% and major changes in 7.2%. CIN 3 was found in 7 patients (10.1%). Prevalence of CIN 3 by hrHPV genotypes was 27.3% for HPV16, 20.0% for HPV18 and 7.1% for HPVO. A statistically significant dependency between hrHPV and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was demonstrated (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.048).</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion </jats:bold>Within this single center study of persistent hrHPV, cytologic negative samples, patients with HPV 16 were more likely to have high-grade disease compared to other hrHPV subtypes. Larger prospective randomized trials are needed to substantiate our results and obtain adjusted cervical cancer screening time intervals according to the hrHPV genotypes.</jats:p>
