Quick answer

The Human Papillomavirus Test is a laboratory test that looks for the genetic material of high-risk HPV types. HPV is a very common virus with many types, and a small number of high-risk types are linked to cervical cell changes and other cancers. The test is used most often in cervical screening, sometimes together with a Pap test, and results are interpreted with the person's screening history.

What this test measures

HPV spreads through skin-to-skin sexual contact and is common in sexually active adults. Most infections clear on their own within a year or two without causing any problems. When a high-risk type persists, it can lead to changes in cervical cells that may progress over time, which is why screening programs look for these types in particular.

The test detects HPV DNA or RNA from a collected sample. Depending on the service, the sample may be collected from the cervix by a clinician, collected as a swab, or provided as a urine sample where that option is offered. Many tests report whether high-risk types are present and may specify genotypes 16 and 18, which carry the highest risk, or group the remaining high-risk types together.

Screening programs recommend testing at intervals based on age, history, and prior results. A positive high-risk HPV result does not mean a person has cancer; it means the virus is present and follow-up or repeat testing may be needed. A qualified healthcare provider should explain what a result means and what the recommended next step is for that individual.
