Overview
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection. With various strains, some causing genital warts and others linked to cancers, including cervical cancer, HPV vaccination and regular screenings are crucial for prevention and early detection, respectively.
HPV DNA detection and typing identifies the presence of HPV DNA in the sample and differentiates between high-risk and low-risk strains. High-risk HPV types are associated with an increased chance of developing cervical cancer. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) technique uses a liquid solution to preserve cervical cells collected during a Pap smear. This allows for better visualization of cells under a microscope, potentially improving the accuracy of detecting abnormal cell changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test measures the presence of HPV DNA and differentiates between high-risk and low-risk strains in the sample collected, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing techniques. It helps determine the specific HPV type, allowing for targeted treatment and monitoring of the infection.
- To detect an HPV infection
- To determine the specific type of HPV present for effective management and monitoring
- To screen for high-risk HPV types associated with cervical cancer
- To guide appropriate treatment decisions
- To assess the risk of developing cervical cancer and related conditions
This test is recommended for:
- Women aged 30 years and above as part of cervical cancer screening
- Women with abnormal Pap smear results
- Individuals with persistent genital warts or other signs and symptoms of an HPV infection
- Patients undergoing follow-up after treatment for cervical abnormalities or cancer
Abnormal results may indicate an HPV infection and the specific type of HPV present. This information helps doctors determine appropriate treatment options and monitor the progression of the infection. Abnormal results do not necessarily mean the presence of cancer, but they require further evaluation by your doctor.
- A healthcare professional will insert the speculum to visualize the cervix
- The clinician gently scrapes the surface of the cervix to collect cells from the inner canal
- The collected cells are rinsed in the thin prep solution within the vial
- No special preparations are needed for this test.
- Inform your doctor about any medications, previous treatments, or relevant medical history.
- Follow any specific instructions provided by your doctor regarding sample collection and timing.
- Pap smear: A test that examines cervical cells for abnormalities
- HPV genotyping: Identifies the specific type of HPV present
- Colposcopy: Visual examination of the cervix using a colposcope
- Cervical biopsy: Removal of a small tissue sample from the cervix for further evaluation
- ThinPrep Pap test
- HPV DNA test
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells lining the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It is most commonly caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of HPV. Early detection through screening tests like the HPV-DNA Detection test can help in its prevention and treatment.
