Test Code DHPVA Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 16, Droplet Digital PCR, Blood


Ordering Guidance


This test should be ordered to monitor circulating cell free DNA for the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 genotype in patients with a previous diagnosis of HPV-16. If the intent is a pre-diagnostic screen for which the genotype is not previously known, order DHPVR / Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 16 with Type 18/31/33/35 Reflex, Droplet Digital PCR, Blood which can detect and quantify circulating cell free DNA from 5 high-risk HPV genotypes: HPV-16, -18, -31, -33 and -35.

 

For routine cervical cancer screening, order VHPV / Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaginal Detection with Genotyping for High-Risk Types by PCR.
