Test Overview & Methodology
HPV genotyping via cervical swab determines the specific high-risk (oncogenic) and low-risk viral genotypes driving cervical carcinogenesis, using gold-standard Sanger sequencing.
| Feature | Our HPV Genotyping Test | Common PCR-Based Genotyping |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Sanger Sequencing (full genotype resolution) | Real-time PCR (limited to a few high-risk types) |
| Turnaround Time | 4 – 5 working days | 1 – 3 days (may miss co-infections) |
| Clinical Depth | Identifies all oncogenic & low-risk genotypes (incl. 16,18,31,33,45,52,58) | Often targets only HPV 16/18 or a limited panel |
| Pre-Test Prescription | Doctor's prescription required (exemptions apply) | Typically required |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I emphasize that HPV genotyping provides critical virological data for cervical cancer risk stratification. Radiological correlation via colposcopy or MRI may be necessary to fully assess cervical involvement. I advise patients to follow comprehensive evaluation protocols and never discontinue prescribed medications without clinical consultation.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (DHA License: 61713011), Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, Senior Clinical Editor.
Advisory: Do Not Alter Medications Without Consultation
Do not discontinue prescribed medication (especially anticoagulants or immunosuppressants) without consulting your doctor. HPV genotyping does not require any pre-test medication changes unless clinically indicated.
Exclusion Criteria & Safety Red Flags
- Active heavy vaginal bleeding (menstruation is acceptable only if light; heavy flow can contaminate sample).
- Recent cervical biopsy, cryotherapy, or LEEP procedure (wait at least 4 weeks).
- Known allergy to latex (speculum cover) – alternative materials must be used.
- Active untreated cervicovaginal infection – treat first to avoid false results.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience severe pelvic pain, fever, or heavy bleeding after swab collection, seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the clinical difference between low-risk and high-risk HPV genotypes?
High-risk genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58) are oncogenic, driving over 70% of cervical cancers worldwide. Low-risk types like 6 and 11 cause benign genital warts but are not carcinogenic. Our sequencing precisely distinguishes both, enabling personalized risk stratification.
2. How should I prepare for the cervical swab collection?
Avoid vaginal intercourse, douching, or intravaginal products for 48 hours before the sample collection to ensure accurate sampling. Inform the phlebotomist of any menstrual spotting or recent cervical procedures. The collection is quick, performed by a certified female nurse, and you can resume daily activities immediately.
3. Is a prescription required for HPV Genotyping in the UAE?
A valid DHA-licensed doctor's prescription is generally required; however, surgery pre-operative clearance, pregnancy check-ups, and travel abroad purposes are exempt. Our team can help verify your case and guide you through the insurance pre-approval via WhatsApp.
