HPV Home Test – Detection of High-Risk HPV Types (16/18)

Product Description

The HPV home test is a CE-certified test designed to provide an initial indication of the possible presence of the human papillomavirus (HPV), focusing on high-risk types associated with cervical cancer.

The test is performed using a cervical sample and is intended for women. It serves as a screening tool and provides qualitative insights into the presence of selected HPV types.

What is HPV and why is testing relevant?

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus transmitted through intimate contact. In many cases, HPV causes no symptoms and disappears on its own. However, certain high-risk types, such as HPV-16 and HPV-18, are associated with abnormalities in the cervix.

Testing can provide valuable insights, especially for:

• Women who are not or insufficiently vaccinated
• Women seeking extra reassurance
• Situations where HPV screening is considered as a supplement to regular check-ups

Early detection can help facilitate timely discussions with a healthcare provider.
