Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that infects the skin and mucous membranes. Among its many types, HPV 16 and 18 are the most notorious, closely associated with the development of cervical cancer and other types of cancers. Understanding the symptoms and getting tested can be crucial for early detection and treatment. DNA Labs UAE offers a comprehensive HPV Viral Load Quantitative Test specifically for HPV 16 and 18, priced at 1530 AED. This test not only confirms the presence of the virus but also measures its quantity in the body, providing valuable information for treatment planning.
Symptoms of Human Papillomavirus 16 and 18
HPV types 16 and 18 are often silent, meaning they can infect individuals without showing any symptoms for a long time. However, they are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases. When symptoms do manifest, they may include:
- Genital warts: Small bumps on the genital or anal area. Although warts are more commonly associated with other types of HPV, they can sometimes be linked to types 16 and 18.
- Abnormal Pap test results: HPV types 16 and 18 can cause changes in the cells of the cervix, detectable through a Pap smear test.
- Persistent high-risk HPV infection: This can lead to cellular changes and precancerous conditions, detectable through follow-up testing after an initial HPV diagnosis.
It is important to note that symptoms might not be noticeable until the virus has caused significant health issues, such as cervical cancer. This makes regular screening and early detection critical.
HPV Viral Load Quantitative Test
The HPV Viral Load Quantitative Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a sophisticated diagnostic tool designed to detect and quantify the viral load of HPV types 16 and 18 in the body. A higher viral load can indicate an increased risk of developing cancerous or precancerous conditions. The test cost is 1530 AED and is conducted using advanced molecular techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Understanding your viral load can help your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your treatment and management plan. This test is especially recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with HPV and are at risk of developing cervical cancer or other HPV-related cancers.
