Our Comprehensive HPV Package Explained
What are the tests in the Comprehensive HPV Package?
The Comprehensive HPV Package offered both in our lab and as a home test offers a detailed screening of 27 Human Papillomavirus (HPV) strains, including both low-risk and high-risk types. HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide, and in South Africa, it is a leading cause of cervical cancer and genital warts. Early detection is key in preventing complications, guiding vaccination decisions, and ensuring timely medical intervention.
This package tests for low-risk HPV types associated with genital warts and high-risk HPV types that can lead to cervical, anal, and other cancers.
