What information the test provides
The test looks for certain types of human papillomavirus in a cervical sample. Whether it is indicated depends on factors such as your age, health history, previous screening and professional guidance.
Having HPV does not by itself mean that you have cancer. The result should be interpreted as part of a cervical screening plan, not as an isolated conclusion.
An HPV test and cervical cytology are not the same
An HPV test looks for evidence of the virus, while cervical cytology examines cervical cells for changes. They may be ordered separately or used together, depending on your circumstances.
If you are unsure which one you need, you can begin with a consultation to review your health history and previous screening.
Before your sample is collected
Our team will confirm the instructions that apply to your appointment. Tell us about bleeding, current symptoms, pregnancy, recent vaginal treatments or previous results so we can provide individual guidance.
The test does not replace a consultation when you have symptoms, and it cannot identify every possible cause of a gynecological concern.
After you receive your result
The next step depends on the result, your medical history and professional assessment. It may involve follow-up, repeat testing at a later date or another evaluation; the same procedure is not needed for everyone who receives a result.
