HPV identification

HPV identification is the examination for the molecular detection of the virus’s DNA. With this test, the virus can be found and also identified by the exact type which infected the woman.

With the HPV – DNA identification method, we can detect the specific HPV type. Identification is performed via PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), which is a very reliable method of detecting HPV viruses.

It’s extremely essential to know the specific HPV type, because it allows us to know if it’s aggressive or not and this can better guide the monitoring and treatment of women with more aggressive and cancerous HPV types. Women with high-risk HPV viruses need to be monitored more closely, due to increased probability of developing malignancies.
