HPV Screening with reflex genotyping for 32 subtypes
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) screening with reflex genotyping for 32 subtypes is a comprehensive diagnostic test that identifies HPV infections, including high-risk and low-risk genotypes. HPV is a common virus that can lead to six types of cancers later in life. The virus passes mainly through intimate contact, and most people will get an HPV infection at some point in their lives.

High-risk genotypes such as 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 52, 58, and 67 are associated with cervical cancer and other types of cancers, including anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal cancers. Low-risk genotypes such as 6, 11, 13, 30, 32, 34, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 51, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 61, 62, 64, 66, 68, and 69 are less likely to cause cancer but can cause other conditions such as warts.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a diagnostic test that identifies HPV infections, including specific high-risk and low-risk HPV
genotypes.
This test is important because it can detect the presence of HPV, including high-risk genotypes that
increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer.
The test is performed using a cervical swab sample, which is tested in a laboratory.
A positive result indicates the presence of HPV. The specific genotype identified can provide information
about your risk of developing certain conditions.
A negative result indicates that no HPV was detected in the sample.
High-risk genotypes are more likely to cause cancer, while low-risk genotypes can cause other conditions
such as warts.
It typically takes 1-2 weeks to get the results, but the timeframe can vary depending on the lab.
There are no specific eating or drinking restrictions before the test.
There are minimal risks associated with providing a cervical swab sample.
The results can guide treatment decisions and help in determining the need for further monitoring or
treatment.
The frequency of testing depends on your age, sexual activity, and other risk factors. Your healthcare
provider can provide personalized recommendations.
While there is no approved test for men, some types of HPV can cause health problems in men, too.
There is no cure for HPV, but the symptoms and health problems it causes can often be treated.
Yes, HPV can be prevented through vaccination, regular screenings, and safe sex practices.
The test is highly accurate, but no test is 100% perfect. There may be some false-positive or
false-negative results.
If you test positive for a high-risk HPV genotype, your healthcare provider will discuss the next steps,
which may include further testing and monitoring.
Yes, it's possible to get re-infected with the same or different HPV genotypes.
You can reduce your risk of getting HPV by getting vaccinated, using condoms, limiting your number of
sexual partners, and getting regular screenings.
The test detects 32 specific genotypes of HPV, including the most common high-risk and low-risk
genotypes.
Yes, even if you've had the HPV vaccine, regular HPV screenings are still recommended as the vaccine
doesn't protect against all types of HPV that can cause cancer.
