A laboratory test, the HPV looks at specific markers to describe a defined part of your health picture. This overview explains the test and its results.

What the HPV Screens For in Gresham

The HPV is often used to check a particular set of markers when there is a reason to look more closely. Screening results from the HPV are most useful when reviewed alongside your history by a healthcare provider. The HPV screens for values in the markers it measures rather than confirming a specific diagnosis on its own. Screening with the HPV can highlight results outside the expected range so they can be reviewed further.

How to Prepare for the HPV

Wearing a short-sleeved top gives the collection staff easy access for the HPV. If you take medications, keep a list ready to discuss with the collection staff or your provider. Unless told otherwise, most people do not need to fast for the HPV. Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the HPV run smoothly.

Accuracy and Limitations of the HPV

The HPV test detects genetic material from human papillomavirus types that are linked to cervical and other cancers. No single test, including the HPV, can answer every question about your health. The HPV should be understood alongside your history, symptoms, and any other tests you have had. For anything concerning in the HPV report, follow up promptly with a healthcare provider.
