Order Human Papillomavirus (HPV) TestThe human papillomavirus (HPV) test is a laboratory method used to detect the presence of genetic material from high-risk HPV types. Because HPV is a common virus with many strains, testing focuses on the types most strongly associated with cellular changes that can lead to cancer. The test is typically performed on a sample of cells collected from the cervix, and it is often used alongside or as part of cervical screening.
About Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Test in Columbus
HPV testing looks for the virus itself rather than for the cell changes it can cause.
Most HPV infections are transient and clear without intervention, but persistent infection with certain high-risk types can lead to abnormal cervical cells over time. The test identifies whether high-risk HPV DNA or RNA is present in the sample.
A clinician collects the sample during a pelvic examination, using a small brush or swab to gather cells from the cervix. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Some HPV tests can also be performed on a sample collected for a Pap test, depending on the specific assay.
Results are reported as positive or negative for high-risk HPV. A positive result does not mean cancer is present; it indicates that further evaluation or more frequent screening may be appropriate. A negative result means the tested high-risk types were not detected.
