The HPV test is primarily used to screen for cervical cancer and/or identify women who may be at increased risk of cervical cancer. The test determines whether a woman's cervical cells are infected with a high-risk type of human papillomavirus (hrHPV).
Definition of soy. 1 : a brown liquid sauce made by subjecting beans (such as soybeans) to long fermentation and to digestion in brine.
Soy has become a common ingredient in foods. It's also a common cause of food allergy. Soy comes from soybeans, which are in the legume family (along with beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts). Some people are allergic to just one type of legume; others are allergic to more than one. Allergy to soy is more common in infants and kids than teens and adults, but can develop at any age. When someone is allergic to soy, the body's immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in soy.
