Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Self-Sampling Kit

A T T E N T I O N! This test is intended for women only. 

Human papillomavirus (HPV) – is a widely spread virus transmitted through skin or mucous membrane contact, most commonly during sexual intercourse. Certain types of this virus can be considered “high-risk” as they are closely linked to the development of malignant tumors. A test is performed using the DNA PCR method for 14 genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68). 

What do HPV tests reveal? 

• Detection of the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the body. 
• Identification of the virus type and its risk level.
• Ensures early detection, allowing for monitoring of health and prevention of infection spread and development of complications. 
• Complements cervical cytology tests (PAP test), helping to assess changes in cell condition.

High-risk HPV types are associated with an increased likelihood of oncological diseases. 

Who should consider HPV testing? 

• Sexually active women, especially those over 30 years old, when the immune system may be less effective at eliminating the virus. 
• Women whose PAP test results indicate possible cell changes or anomalies.
