MicroGenDX HPV Test: Your Aid in Precision Detection for Proactive Health Management

Early Detection, Comprehensive Insight, Peace of Mind 

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections, with millions of people infected globally each year. In the U.S. alone, it’s thought that 42 million Americans have some form of HPV, with 13-14 million people getting infected annually.

If left undetected, HPV has the potential to cause serious health complications. While many HPV infections clear up on their own, specific high-risk strains can lead to conditions such as cervical cancer, genital warts, vaginal cancer, or penile cancer.

To safeguard your health, the MicroGenDX HPV Test offers a hi-tech, thorough, and reliable approach to identify these risks early, empowering you with the clarity needed to proactively protect your health.

Why Choose the MicroGenDX HPV Test?

1. Targeted HPV Strain Detection
   Our HPV Test detects a range of high-risk HPV strains, targeting the variants most associated with serious health risks, mainly cancer. Specifically, the test screens for:
   • HPV Strains: 16, 18, 31, 35, 52
   By focusing on these cancer-causing strains, the test offers a detailed picture of your HPV status, helping you make informed decisions about your health.
2. Leading Technology – qPCR
   The MicroGenDX HPV Test is powered by industry-leading quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technology, widely recognized as the gold standard known for COVID-19 testing. This exceptional level of precision is crucial to detecting high-risk HPV strains early, giving you and your healthcare provider the best chance to manage any potential health risk, often before symptoms appear.
3. Higher Standard than Leading Methods
   Other products utilize antigen - or antibody-based testing, which can be less reliable as these methods depend on detecting viral proteins or antibodies. These indicators may not be present at detectable levels during early infection or when the virus is latent, leading to a higher risk of false negative results. 
   In addition, these tests require the body to develop an immune response.
   qPCR results are more objective and precise as they reveal how much viral DNA is present – leaving little room for interpretation.
4. Fast, Confidential Results
   We understand that waiting for test results may be stressful. That’s why MicroGenDX prioritizes speed and privacy. Once your sample reaches our lab, you can expect your results within 24-48 hours.
   Your results are delivered securely through our online portal, ensuring that your privacy is maintained while giving you quick access to your health information.
5. Convenient At-Home Test Experience
   The MicroGenDX HPV Test is designed with your convenience in mind. The test kit is discreetly delivered to your home with everything you need to collect your sample. Using the provided genital swab, you can collect your sample in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
   After collecting, simply return the sample to our lab using the prepaid overnight shipping label included in the kit.

Who Should Consider the MicroGenDX HPV Test?

Women Aged 25-65:
Routine HPV screening is particularly recommended for women aged 25-65 by the National Cancer Institute, especially those who have not received the HPV vaccine. Regular testing can help detect high-risk strains early, significantly reducing the risk of developing cervical cancer or other major issues.

Individuals with Abnormal Pap Smear Results:
If you’ve received an abnormal Pap smear result, this HPV Test can provide added clarity by identifying if high-risk HPV strains are present. This insight is critical to monitoring your health and devising appropriate follow-up care.

Women with a History of HPV:
For those who have previously tested positive for HPV or have been diagnosed with an HPV-related condition, regular testing is crucial for monitoring your health and detecting any new or recurring infections promptly.
