What is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Genotyping?

This test identifies specific types (genotypes) of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) from a swab sample. HPV is a very common virus, and certain types can cause health problems like warts or cancer.

Why is this test important?

Genotyping helps assess the risk of developing cervical cancer or other HPV-related cancers, as high-risk HPV types are identified. It aids in guiding follow-up care and screening strategies.

How to Prepare

Follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding preparation, especially if it's a cervical swab.
