Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA-based virus that can be transmitted from one body to another. It primarily infects the skin or mucosal cells in the body. HPV can also be referred to as a group of viruses found in the body’s moist surfaces. In total, there are around 150 varieties of HPV that might cause harm to the human body. Out of all HPV types, 14 are considered to be highly risky for humans. HPV 16 and HPV 18 are two types of HPV that might even lead to cervical cancer. HPV 16 and HPV 18 are responsible for around 70% of total cervical cancer cases on the planet. Sometimes HPV infection might even be asymptomatic (without any symptoms). People often experience skin warts due to HPV infection. HPV also leads to warts in the mucous membrane. However, the biggest threat of HPV is its impact on the genitals of men and women.

Frequently asked questions

An HPV test is a type of screening test for cervical cancer. For the same reason, an HPV test might be followed by a pap smear test to confirm the presence of cancer in the cervix region. A Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Detector test will tell you about the presence of HPV in the body. You will also get to know the type of HPV that has entered your body with a lab test. If the presence of HPV is detected with a lab test, you can take appropriate measures to remove it quickly.

To confirm the presence of HPV in your body, you need a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Detector test. Sometimes, it might take decades for the affected cells to turn into cancer cells. By detecting the presence of HPV early in the body, you can receive the right treatment. With an HPV test at the right time, you can prevent the cells from turning cancerous. If men are infected with HPV, they might need an equivalent test like an anal pap test to confirm the presence of the virus.

Since an HPV test is a screening test for cervical cancer, it will indicate the chances. If an HPV test report is positive, you have a chance of cervical cancer. In such a case, you might have to take a pap smear test and detect the presence of cervical cancer. HPV test reports might also come negative, indicating the absence of HPV from the body.

After getting a positive HPV result, the doctor might start monitoring the development of cancer cells. You might have to take a pap smear test (colposcopy).

Some pathology centres offer home sample collection facilities for HPV tests at an extra charge.
