Description

HPV or Human Papillomavirus, is the most common STI in the world, affecting people in their late teens and older. There are over 100 types of HPV, with 40 being STI-related. The most known HPV strains are 16 and 18, as they are the lead cause of cervical cancer. HPV can cause other health problems such as genital warts.

HPV can go away on its own within two years but it is important to know that it is highly transmissible during this period and you should be accompanied by your doctor to monitor the infection.

HPV is spread through oral, vaginal, or anal sexual contact. HPV shows little to no symptoms meaning that you can get it from any sexual partner who has not been tested for it.

This test is for Women or people who have Cervices. Men cannot use this test.

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer related death in women, due to the lack of implementation of screening tests for cervical pre-cancer and cancer. A screening test should be simple, rapid, and cost effective. Ideally, such a test would be informative regarding HPV oncogenic activity. Expression of both HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins is essential for cervical cell transformation to occur. Some research results demonstrated a correlation of E6 &E7 oncoprotein positivity with both severity of cervical histopathology and risk for progression.
