Sample Required

Cervical CVS / Penis / Vaginal Swab Sample

Preparation

Preparation and Sample Collection: Proper preparation is key for accurate results. Preparation: Avoid douching: For at least 24-48 hours before the test. Avoid vaginal medicines, creams, jellies, or tampons: For at least 24-48 hours before the test. Abstain from sexual intercourse: For at least 24-48 hours before the test. Schedule appropriately: Do not schedule the test during your menstrual period. If you are menstruating, please inform your doctor and reschedule for after your period has ended. Sample Collection: The sample is collected by a healthcare professional (gynecologist, general practitioner) during a standard pelvic examination. A small brush or spatula is gently used to collect cells from the surface of the cervix (ectocervix) and from within the cervical canal (endocervix). The collected cells are then placed into a liquid-based cytology vial or a specific transport medium designed for HPV DNA testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this HPV DNA genotyping test detect?

It detects DNA from high-risk HPV types including 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 using PCR-based genotyping. These types are responsible for the majority of cervical cancers and precancerous lesions.

Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting is not required. This is a molecular swab-based test and diet has no impact on HPV DNA detection.

How is the sample collected for HPV DNA testing?

The sample is collected using a cervical cytobrush (CVS), vaginal swab, or penile swab by a trained healthcare professional during a routine examination.

How often should HPV genotyping be repeated?

For average-risk women, co-testing with Pap smear every 5 years or HPV testing alone every 3 years is recommended starting at age 30. Follow your gynecologist's guidance based on prior results.

What do positive HPV genotyping results mean?

A positive result indicates the presence of high-risk HPV DNA in the sample. It does not mean cancer is present but signals the need for further evaluation such as colposcopy or repeat testing.

Can HPV DNA be cleared by the immune system?

Yes, in most individuals the immune system clears HPV infection within 1 to 2 years. Persistent high-risk HPV infection is what increases the risk of precancerous changes over time.
