HPV Tests is a medical screening used to further detect and identify high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that may lead to cervical cancer. Typically performed using a cervical cell sample, this test identifies the presence of HPV DNA or mRNA. Regular HPV testing supports timely intervention, enhances long-term health outcomes, and plays a vital role in comprehensive cervical cancer prevention strategies.

There are 2 HPV Tests available at our affiliated clinic:
· HPV High-Risk Genotypes
· HPV High-Risk Test

HPV High-Risk Genotypes identify the specific type of HPV, while HPV High-Risk Test only detects the presence of any high-risk HPV types.

HPV Tests begins with the collection of cervical cells using a sterile swab or brush during a pelvic examination. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, advanced molecular techniques are used to detect HPV DNA or mRNA, particularly from high-risk virus types linked to cervical cancer. Depending on the type of test, the analysis may identify the presence of the virus (DNA test) or the expression of viral activity (mRNA test). HPV High-Risk Genotypes can identify the specific type of HPV present. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete.

Q3: How often should I get tested for the usual HPV High-Risk Test?
A3: Testing frequency depends on your age and health history; generally, women aged 30 and older are tested every 5 years alongside a Pap test.

Q4: What do positive and negative results mean?
A4: A positive result means high-risk HPV is present and may require follow-up. A negative result means no high-risk HPV was found, and routine screening can continue.

Q5: How soon can I expect my HPV Tests results?
A5: Results typically take between a few days to one week, depending on the laboratory. The doctor at our affiliated clinic will inform you once the results are available and discuss any necessary follow-up.
