About Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Test in Roswell
HPV testing focuses on high-risk viral types associated with cervical and other anogenital cancers.
The test typically identifies DNA from high-risk HPV types, including types 16 and 18, which account for the majority of HPV-related cancers. Some assays also report whether a high-risk type is present without specifying which one.
Sample collection depends on the purpose of testing. For cervical screening, a clinician collects cells from the cervix using a swab or brush, often in the same sample used for a Pap test. Other sample types may be used when evaluating different sites.
Results are reported as positive or negative for high-risk HPV. A positive result indicates the virus is present but does not mean cancer is present; it signals the need for follow-up based on clinical guidelines.
