HPV mRNA (All High-Risk Subtypes) Test – At-Home Cervical & Vaginal Test

Detect High-Risk HPV with Advanced mRNA Testing

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. While most HPV infections are harmless and clear naturally, high-risk HPV strains are linked to cervical cancer, anal cancer, throat cancer, and other HPV-related diseases.

The HPV mRNA (All High-Risk Subtypes) Test uses advanced molecular technology to detect viral mRNA from all high-risk HPV types, including HPV 16 and HPV 18 – the strains responsible for the majority of cervical cancers. Unlike traditional DNA-based HPV tests, mRNA testing provides greater specificity, detecting only active infections that have begun expressing cancer-related viral genes.

With our discreet at-home test kit, you can check for high-risk HPV without a clinic visit, giving you clarity and peace of mind.

What Is HPV mRNA Testing?

Most standard HPV tests detect the DNA of the virus, which shows whether HPV is present but not necessarily active. In contrast, HPV mRNA testing looks for messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by the E6/E7 oncogenes of high-risk HPV strains.

• HPV DNA test – Detects the presence of the virus, even if it is inactive.

• HPV mRNA test – Detects viral activity that could lead to precancerous changes.

By focusing on active infection, the HPV mRNA test reduces false positives and identifies people at highest risk of developing cervical abnormalities.

Which HPV Types Are Detected?

This test screens for all high-risk HPV subtypes, including but not limited to:

• HPV 16

• HPV 18

• HPV 31

• HPV 33

• HPV 35

• HPV 39

• HPV 45

• HPV 51

• HPV 52

• HPV 56

• HPV 58

• HPV 59

• HPV 66

• HPV 68

These strains account for the majority of cervical cancers and other HPV-related malignancies.

Why Take an HPV mRNA Test?

You may consider this test if you:

• Want to screen for high-risk HPV as part of cervical cancer prevention.

• Have had an abnormal smear test or Pap result.

• Want greater reassurance beyond a standard HPV DNA test.

• Are over 25 and sexually active, as HPV risk increases with age and exposure.

• Have not had recent cervical screening but want to check your HPV status at home.

• Want to monitor clearance of a previously detected HPV infection.

Symptoms and Risks of High-Risk HPV

High-risk HPV infections usually cause no symptoms, which is why regular testing is essential. Left undetected, persistent infection can lead to:

• Cervical dysplasia (abnormal cell changes)

• Cervical cancer

• Anal cancer

• Throat/oropharyngeal cancer

• Vaginal or vulval cancers

Early detection allows for monitoring and treatment before cancer develops.

How Does the At-Home Test Work?

Our HPV mRNA test is designed to be convenient and discreet:

1. Order online – Your kit is delivered in plain packaging.

2. Collect your sample – Use the included vaginal swab with easy-to-follow instructions.

3. Return your sample – Post it to our UKAS-accredited laboratory using the prepaid envelope.

4. Receive results – Get a secure, doctor-reviewed report online within 2–3 working days of your sample reaching the lab.

Understanding Your Results

• Negative result – No high-risk HPV mRNA was detected, meaning there is no evidence of an active high-risk HPV infection.

• Positive result – High-risk HPV mRNA was found. This indicates an active infection that may require follow-up, such as a smear test or referral to a specialist for colposcopy.

Our reports include clear medical interpretation and guidance on the next steps.

Advantages of HPV mRNA Testing

• Higher specificity – Identifies active infections more closely linked to cancer risk.

• Fewer false positives – Reduces unnecessary anxiety and follow-up procedures.

• Covers all high-risk subtypes – Ensures comprehensive screening.

• Non-invasive – Simple self-swab sample collection at home.

• Quick results – Fast turnaround from accredited UK labs.

---

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test may be particularly beneficial for:

• Women aged 25–65 who are due for cervical screening.

• Individuals who missed NHS smear tests but want private screening.

• People with a history of abnormal smears seeking reassurance.

• Anyone with a new sexual partner wanting to check HPV status.

• Those previously diagnosed with HPV who want to confirm if it has cleared.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is this different from the NHS smear test?
The NHS cervical screening programme primarily checks for HPV DNA. Our test detects HPV mRNA, which may provide more specific insight into cancer risk.

2. Can men take this test?
Currently, this test is designed for vaginal/cervical samples. Men can carry high-risk HPV, but testing is less widely available outside research or specialist clinics.

3. How often should I test?
If negative, testing every 3–5 years is usually sufficient unless advised otherwise. If positive, more frequent monitoring may be recommended.

4. Will a positive result mean I have cancer?
No. A positive result means an active HPV infection is present, but it does not mean cancer. It does mean closer monitoring is recommended.

5. What happens if I test positive?
We will provide guidance in your results report. You should share your results with your GP, who may recommend further tests or referral to a colposcopy clinic.
