Human Papilloma Virus testing

A human papillomavirus (HPV) test is done to find a high-risk HPV infection in women. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). An HPV test checks for the genetic material (DNA) of the human papillomavirus. Like a Pap test, an HPV test is done on a sample of cells collected from the cervix. The test minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis because it is DNA-based, the accuracy of results are undisputed.

Pap Smears have always been the gold standard technique used in diagnosis of early cervical cancer, however, little progress in this method has been made in the last 50 years, and the sensitivity and false negatives still remain an issue.

At Eastern Biotech, we use a Liquid Based Cytology testing method whereby the cells collected from the cervical swab are stabilized by being put in a liquid solution. This enables a more accurate result when analysed under the microscope when compared to a traditional pap smear. For the Pap smear, they use a dry swab and therefore the collected cells can rapidly dry out and deteriorate; making diagnosis more difficult. Hence there are a high number of false negative results. The liquid based cytology that we offer therefore provides reassurance that results are more reliable.

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum.

Why HPV testing is essential


  • To accurately determine if there is a presence of the Human Papilloma Virus.
  • To assess the future risk of cancer and determine optimal time of treatment.
  • HPV has been established as the major etiological (causative) agent for cervical cancer.
  • HPV detection is associated with a minimum 100-fold increased risk of high-grade CIN (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia.
  • Women with normal Pap Smears but with High Risk HPV types are at an increased risk of subsequent CIN within few years.
  • HPV Test predicts the risk of progression to a more severe disease.
