Thank you for visiting this page for HPV tests. Exclusively HPV Variant Testing for men and women.
What is HPV Variant Testing? A Type or a Home Kit ?
Human Papillomavirus is responsible for almost 100% of cervical cancer cases in women. The Type reports on the variant infection are symptomless and can only be diagnosed with our Lab PCR instruments. It is estimated that 1 in 2 will contract the virus in their lifetime. There is no treatment for this disease spread by skin-to-skin contact. However, cancer-preventative measures can be taken if an infection is caught early enough. An HPV Test Check at Home or a London clinic is also a great way to check your health.
However, there is no treatment for the virus itself. However, there are treatments for the problems that the virus can cause. And with testing for HPV in men and women. And there is a Vaccine for some of the variants.
Tests for Genital warts can go away with your healthcare provider or prescription medicine treatment. But if left untreated, genital warts may go away, stay the same, or grow in size or number.
Tests for Cervical precancer: Treatment is available. And women who get routine Pap smears and follow-ups as needed can find problems before cervical Cancer develops. However, prevention is always better than treatment. For more information, visit Cancer. Or an external icon.
Other infection-related cancers are also more treatable when found and treated early. But for more information, visit a Cancer Center or your GP.

However, your result might be negative if you have none of the above types. There are 250 types, and you might have one of the 250 types but not one of the above types.
How does it work?
But how long do the test results take?
The target turnaround time for STI-type results is 1-2 working days from receiving them in the Laboratory. However, the turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on the sample run schedule. Also, samples are processed 6 days a week.
* If your results are positive, please visit your health provider for more tests and treatment *
Also, Medicines Online recommend the following sample management protocol for HPV Tests.
Sample Management starts when you prick your finger or make your swab or urine, using your chosen type for men’s and women’s home kits. Therefore, please do not leave your sample around the Home for 1-2 days. Because it will arrive at the Laboratory already clotted or spoiled, and it can’t be processed. So, please take your sample to the drop box or post office as close to the collection time as possible. Make sure that your “HPV Testing sample for Man and Woman” is collected properly and it is not sitting overnight in the drop box, waiting for collection the next day or even several days later.
Any waiting time is bad for your blood sample. So, importantly, your sample must arrive at the Laboratory in good condition. If not, then the sample needs to be disposed of.
Interpretations
Reading and interpreting Results:
The Instrument Manufacturer of our PCR and Extraction instruments are validated and specifies a sensitivity and accuracy of more than 80% and up to 98.7% depending on the sampling accuracy, the environment and conditions and the sampling method selected by the customer.
To explain in layman’s terms, a swab sample stick that carries 100,000 bacteria or virus bugs may give a different result than a swab sample stick with 10 bugs.
Overall result accuracy varies depending on patient infection intensity, health and quality of the sampling procedures by the home-based customer. And how many “bugs” are on the swab stick returned to our laboratory.
Result accuracy can be less than the above range due to these factors

Mark –
The kit received it’s very discreet indeed! I had a few questions, but Cidalia was very helpful! Thank you again! I would also recommend the more expensive version of this test as if you’re positive you will know what type of HPV you have, so it’s worth the price! Somewhere else, you pay more and they don’t tell you what kind of HPV you have!
