About this test

HPV DNA testing looks for high-risk types of human papillomavirus in a cervical sample. Long-lasting infection with these types is the main cause of cervical cancer.

Why is this test done?

  • Screen for cervical cancer risk in women over 30
  • Follow up an abnormal Pap smear
  • Check after treatment of cervical changes

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Usually no symptoms
  • Bleeding after intercourse
  • Abnormal Pap smear

Normal range

If your result is high

Detected means high-risk HPV is present. Most infections clear on their own, but your doctor may advise a Pap smear or colposcopy.
