Human Papilloma Virus HPV Genotype Test
Cost: AED 1200.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a group of viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. There are over 100 different types of HPV, classified into high-risk and low-risk types based on their potential to cause cancer.
HPV genotypes refer to the specific strains or subtypes of the virus. Each genotype has a unique genetic makeup and can have different effects on the body. Some HPV genotypes are associated with a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as cervical, anal, or oropharyngeal cancer.
It is important to note that HPV infection is usually asymptomatic and can be cleared by the immune system without causing any health problems. However, persistent infection with high-risk HPV genotypes can lead to the development of cancerous lesions over time.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as genital warts or abnormal Pap smear results, your doctor may recommend the HPV Genotype Test to determine the specific genotype of HPV present.

Some HPV genotypes are associated with a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as cervical, anal, or oropharyngeal cancer. The most common high-risk HPV genotypes are HPV 16 and HPV 18, which are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. Other high-risk genotypes include HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Low-risk HPV genotypes, such as HPV 6 and HPV 11, are associated with the development of genital warts and are less likely to cause cancer. It is important to note that HPV infection is usually asymptomatic and can be cleared by the immune system without causing any health problems. However, persistent infection with high-risk HPV genotypes can lead to the development of cancerous lesions over time.
