What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're concerned about HPV exposure or want to know your risk for HPV-related health issues. It identifies whether HPV is present and whether it's a high-risk or low-risk type, which helps guide what monitoring or next steps make sense. It's a good option if you've had an abnormal screening result in the past or simply want clarity about your HPV status.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your online account, with an explanation of what a positive or negative result means. If your result shows a high-risk HPV type, next steps typically involve more frequent monitoring or follow-up testing, so having this information early lets you plan ahead. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and use the trends feature to track your results if you retest in the future.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who wants to understand their HPV status, especially those who've had an abnormal Pap result, a new sexual partner, or no recent HPV screening, should consider this test. It's also useful for people who simply want peace of mind about a common but often silent infection. Since HPV frequently has no symptoms, testing is often the only way to know your status.

How can I naturally support my immune system against HPV?

Most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years thanks to a healthy immune system, so supporting your body's natural defenses can help. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants, getting regular sleep, managing stress, and avoiding smoking all support immune function. Staying active and limiting alcohol can also help your body clear the virus more effectively over time.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being received at the lab. You'll get a notification when your results are posted to your secure online account. If you need results sooner for a specific reason, it's worth checking with the lab about any rush options.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

HPV usually doesn't cause noticeable symptoms, which is exactly why testing matters. Some people may notice genital warts, which can signal a low-risk HPV type, while high-risk types typically show no symptoms until they cause cell changes detected on other screenings. If you've had an abnormal Pap smear or unusual genital growths, this test can help clarify what's going on.

What is HPV and why does it matter?

HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a very common virus spread through skin-to-skin contact, most often during sexual activity. It matters because certain high-risk types can lead to cell changes that, if left unmonitored, may develop into cancer over many years, while low-risk types are more often linked to genital warts. Knowing your HPV type helps determine whether closer monitoring is needed.

What does a positive high-risk HPV result mean?

A positive high-risk result means the virus type detected is one linked to a higher chance of cell changes over time, most commonly affecting the cervix. It doesn't mean you have cancer or will definitely develop it — most HPV infections clear naturally. It does mean that closer follow-up testing and monitoring are a smart next step.

How often should I retest for HPV?

Retesting frequency depends on your prior results and personal risk factors, but many people retest every one to three years as part of routine screening. If you've had a positive high-risk result, more frequent monitoring is generally recommended to track whether the infection clears or persists. Using the trends feature in your account can help you keep an eye on changes over time.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result shows a high-risk HPV type, the best next step is to schedule closer follow-up screening to monitor for any cell changes. In the meantime, supporting your immune system through healthy lifestyle habits can help your body manage the virus. If you notice unusual symptoms like persistent warts or irregular bleeding, seek medical care promptly.
