This HPV Test for Cervical Cancer Risk is a qualitative in vitro test for the detection of high-risk Human Papillomavirus. This test detects the high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68 in self-collected vaginal specimens. Self-collected vaginal specimens, obtained in a healthcare setting, can be tested as an alternative specimen type when cervical sampling is either contraindicated or cervical samples otherwise cannot be obtained.
Early detection is key to prevention and successful treatment of cervical cancer. More than half of new cervical cancers are in women who haven’t been tested in at least 5 years. Plus, 24% of women are not up to date with their cervical cancer screening. Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papilloma virus, or HPV.
This test will tell you and your doctor if you have HPV. This could help determine your risk for cervical cancer or help catch it early when it’s most treatable. To increase the number of women who receive this vital screening, the FDA recently approved a new way to collect samples for HPV testing. Before, cervical cancer screening required a healthcare professional to use an instrument called a speculum to access the cervix and gather cells using a brush or broom from the cervix, deep within the vagina. It’s been discovered that cells from the vaginal wall can also be used for testing for HPV, and you can collect the sample yourself, in a healthcare setting, using a soft swab.
No doctor’s visit needed.
HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects about 79 million Americans. In fact, nearly all sexually active individuals get at least one type of genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. However, most HPV infections go away on their own without long-term problems. There are many different types of HPV. Most infections go away within 1 to 2 years without causing cancer. Only 12-14 high-risk types cause cervical cancer. This self-collected vaginal swab test will detect high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 58, 59, 66, and 68.
