What does the HPV test detect?

It detects high-risk types of human papillomavirus, the ones that can lead to cervical cancer over time. It is more sensitive than a Pap test for identifying women at risk early.

Who should get it?

Under Colombian guidelines, it is recommended for women aged 30 to 65, repeated every 5 years if negative. It can be collected during a visit and, in some places, by self-sampling.

What does a positive result mean?

It does not mean cancer. HPV is very common and most infections clear on their own. A positive result means follow-up is needed: the doctor may order genotyping, a Pap test or colposcopy to check for lesions.

How should you prepare?

Avoid scheduling it during your period, avoid intercourse for 48 hours beforehand, and do not use vaginal suppositories, creams or douches for 3 days before.
