Frequently Asked Questions
What does this HPV DNA PCR test detect?
It detects the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus DNA types known to cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and anal cancers. PCR identifies viral genetic material with high sensitivity even at low viral loads.
Who should get this test done?
Women aged 30 years and above as part of cervical cancer screening, individuals with abnormal Pap smear results, and those with visible genital warts or known HPV exposure. Both women and men can be tested depending on clinical indication.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for HPV DNA PCR testing. The sample is collected via swab from the cervix, vagina, or penis.
How is the sample collected?
A healthcare provider collects the sample using a swab from the cervix (cervical CVS), vagina, or penis. The procedure is quick and may cause mild discomfort but is generally well tolerated.
What do positive or negative results mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of high-risk HPV DNA and requires further evaluation such as colposcopy. A negative result means no high-risk HPV DNA was detected, but routine screening should continue as per guidelines.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours. Verified PDF reports can be accessed via www.drpatholab.in or WhatsApp/Email from Dr. Patho Labs & Diagnostics.
