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.
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.

Understanding HPV Strains and Their Implications High-Risk Strains: HPV 16, 18, 31, 35, 52 These high-risk HPV strains are strongly associated with the development of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers, mainly of the throat and anus. Of these strains, HPV 16 and HPV 18 are the most notorious, responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. They can also lead to oropharyngeal cancers, which harm the throat and base of the tongue. Early detection of these strains is key for preventative care and to reduce the risk of developing cancer. MicroGenDX’s HPV test screens for these strains to enable proactive, targeted intervention. Low-Risk Strains While not linked to cancer, low-risk HPV strains (e.g., HPV 6, HPV 11) can cause genital warts or other benign conditions that can cause discomfort which would require treatment from a provider.
The MicroGenDX HPV Test uses advanced qPCR technology to detect a wide range of high-risk HPV strains with greater accuracy and sensitivity than other tests which typically utilize antibody or antigen based testing. Those methods are less reliable at detecting the presence of bacteria, fungi, or viruses than qPCR which detects the genetic signature (DNA/RNA) of a specific HPV strain.
If you test positive for a high-risk HPV strain, consult your healthcare provider immediately, if you haven’t already. Your provider will guide you on the next steps, which may include further testing, treatment, or increased monitoring. You should also notify your partner as well and review options with them, which may include testing.
Yes, this HPV test is gender-neutral. A person needs only to swab a visible HPV lesion to do the test.
It’s generally recommended that women aged 25-65 get tested for HPV every 3-5 years and we recommend regular testing for anyone who is sexually active However, your healthcare provider can give you personalized advice based on your health history and risk factors.
The test covers certain strains most likely to cause significant health issues. These strains include: 16, 18, 31, 35, 52.
