HPV Individually Typed High-Risk DNA Subtypes Test – At-Home Cervical Screening

Advanced HPV DNA Testing with Individual Subtype Identification

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. While most HPV infections are harmless and resolve naturally, certain high-risk HPV subtypes are strongly linked to cervical cancer, as well as anal, penile, and throat cancers.

The HPV Individually Typed High-Risk DNA Subtypes Test is a private at-home test that detects the DNA of all high-risk HPV types and tells you exactly which subtype is present. Unlike standard HPV screening, which only confirms whether high-risk HPV is present, this advanced test provides subtype-specific results, giving you and your doctor more detailed information about your cancer risk.

With discreet at-home sampling and fast results from a UKAS-accredited laboratory, this test helps you take control of your cervical health.

What Is High-Risk HPV?

HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses. Some types are considered low risk and may only cause genital warts. Others are high risk, meaning they can lead to precancerous changes and, in some cases, cancer.

The high-risk subtypes include HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68. Together, these are responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers worldwide.

Identifying the exact subtype can help guide follow-up care. For example, HPV 16 and HPV 18 carry the highest risk, while other subtypes may pose a lower but still significant risk.

Why Choose Individual HPV Subtype Testing?

Most HPV tests, including those offered through the NHS cervical screening programme, will only tell you whether any high-risk HPV is present. This test goes further by identifying which subtype was detected.

Benefits of Subtype-Specific HPV Testing:

• More personalised risk assessment – Different HPV types carry different levels of risk.

• Better monitoring – Helps track if the same subtype persists over time.

• Clinical decision support – Subtype information can influence the urgency of follow-up.

• Peace of mind – A negative result across all high-risk subtypes provides strong reassurance.

Who Should Consider This Test?

You may benefit from this test if you:

• Want detailed HPV screening beyond standard tests.

• Have had an abnormal smear test or Pap result.

• Previously tested positive for HPV and want to identify the subtype.

• Missed your NHS cervical screening but want a private option.

• Are monitoring clearance of a past infection.

• Have concerns about your cervical cancer risk.

Symptoms of High-Risk HPV

Most high-risk HPV infections cause no symptoms at all. That’s why regular testing is essential. Over time, persistent infection with a high-risk subtype can cause:

• Abnormal cervical cell changes (dysplasia)

• Cervical cancer

• Anal, throat, or vulval cancers

Because these changes can take years to develop, early detection through testing is the most effective way to protect yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is this different from the NHS smear test?
The NHS test checks for the presence of high-risk HPV but does not specify the subtype. This test tells you exactly which HPV subtype is present.

2. Can men take this test?
Currently, this test is designed for cervical/vaginal samples. While men can carry high-risk HPV, there is no equivalent routine screening test for them at this time.

3. How often should I test?
If negative, testing every 3–5 years is recommended unless advised otherwise. If positive, your GP may suggest closer monitoring.

4. What does a positive result mean?
A positive result means a high-risk HPV subtype has been detected. It does not mean you have cancer, but it does mean your risk is higher and follow-up is important.

5. What should I do if I test positive?
Your results report will include guidance. You should share your results with your GP, who may recommend a smear test, colposcopy, or ongoing monitoring.
