also known as Human papilloma virus identified in Cervix
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and nearly every individual with a cervix will encounter it at some point in their life. HPV spreads easily through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and often from partners who have no symptoms and may not know they’re carrying it. There are many different HPV types, including low-risk strains that can cause genital warts and high-risk strains that can lead to cervical cell changes. High-risk HPV rarely causes noticeable symptoms, which means a person can feel completely healthy while an active infection is present. Because HPV is both silent and common, regular screening is essential for protecting long-term cervical and reproductive health. Our HPV (Human Papillomavirus) testing is a highly accurate molecular screening method that detects high-risk HPV strains known to cause cervical and other anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. This test allows patients with cervical and vaginal anatomy to provide their specimen (quick vaginal swab) in a private lab setting, offering a more comfortable, discreet, and accessible screening experience without sacrificing clinical quality. Why This Test Matters: High-risk HPV strains are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. Because most people feel perfectly healthy even when infected, early screening is essential for protecting your reproductive health. This test helps you: Detect active high-risk HPV infections Understand whether follow-up screenings (like a Pap smear or colposcopy) are recommended Get clarity between routine gynecologic visits Make informed decisions about your sexual and reproductive health This test identifies active viral DNA, giving you an accurate view of your current HPV status. Knowledge is the first step toward prevention and early intervention. Possible Symptoms of HPV: Most people don’t notice symptoms, but when they do appear, it may be weeks or even months after exposure. Genital warts Small bumps or clusters in the genital or anal area Persistent high-risk HPV can, over time, contribute to: Cervical cell changes Anal, vaginal, or throat abnormalities Increased cancer risk If you’re experiencing any of these signs, or if you’ve had unprotected sex, testing now is the safest choice. Who Is at Higher Risk? Anyone who is sexually active is at risk for HPV, regardless of age, relationship status, or sexual history. HPV spreads easily through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and even through close genital skin-to-skin contact, meaning you can contract it even if penetration doesn’t occur. Most people who have HPV have no symptoms, so exposure often happens unknowingly. Who Should Consider This Test? This test is designed exclusively for individuals who: Have vaginal and cervical anatomy Have had abnormal Pap results Have a history of HPV infection or multiple sexual partners Are immunocompromised, including those living with HIV Prefer a less invasive and more private screening option (all specimens are self-collected at certified labs for accuracy and comfort) Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Test: HPV screening gives you essential insight into your cervical health. Testing helps you: Detect infections before they cause cell changes Begin recommended follow-up care early Monitor your HPV status over time Reduce long-term risk of cervical cancer Early detection is one of the most effective tools for prevention. 110% Price Guarantee!
