80% of people will have HPV at some point. Our DNA test identifies high-risk strains linked to cancer. Knowledge is prevention.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. While most HPV infections clear naturally, certain high-risk types (especially 16 and 18) can cause cervical, throat, anal, and other cancers. Our HPV DNA test identifies high-risk strains, enabling proactive monitoring and prevention strategies.

Low-risk HPV types (6, 11) cause genital warts but not cancer. High-risk types (16, 18, and others) don't usually cause warts but can lead to cervical and other cancers over time. Our test focuses on the high-risk types.
Yes, vaccination is still beneficial. The vaccine protects against multiple HPV types, so even if you have one type, it can protect you from others you haven't yet encountered.
HPV testing in men is less established than in women. We offer anal HPV testing for MSM and those at higher risk. For general screening in heterosexual men without symptoms, the evidence is less clear-cut.
