Human Papilloma Virus - 29 Genotypes Dubai – Complete HPV Detection for Men
Vesta Care's Human Papilloma Virus - 29 Genotypes test delivers comprehensive molecular detection of HPV strains affecting men's sexual and reproductive health. This advanced PCR analysis identifies 29 specific HPV genotypes from a simple semen sample—including high-risk cancer-causing types and low-risk strains causing genital warts. At AED 999, this specialized testing addresses the critical gap in men's sexual health screening, providing accurate HPV status information enabling informed health decisions and partner protection.
HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68 are high-risk for development of cancer and precursor lesions, with HPV-16 associated with approximately 60% of cervical cancers and HPV-18 accounting for 10-15%. While cervical cancer receives primary attention, HPV causes penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers in men, with testing enabling early detection and prevention strategies.
Understanding HPV in Men
Human papillomavirus represents the most common sexually transmitted infection globally, with estimates of up to 75% of sexually active individuals being exposed to HPV at some point. Unlike women who undergo routine cervical cancer screening, men lack standardized HPV testing despite facing significant health risks from persistent high-risk infections.
HPV in men causes genital warts from low-risk types 6 and 11, penile cancer primarily from HPV 16, anal cancer particularly affecting men who have sex with men, oropharyngeal (throat) cancer increasingly linked to HPV 16 transmitted through oral sex, and serves as transmission source to female partners. Most infections clear spontaneously within two years through immune responses, but persistent high-risk infections progress to cancer precursors requiring intervention.
Comprehensive 29-Genotype Detection
This extensive panel identifies all clinically significant HPV types. High-risk oncogenic genotypes tested include HPV 16 (highest cancer risk), HPV 18 (second highest risk), and additional high-risk types 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82. Probable high-risk types include HPV 26, 53, 66, 67, and 69.
Low-risk genotypes causing benign genital warts include HPV 6 and 11 (responsible for 90% of genital warts), plus types 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, and 70. Comprehensive genotyping distinguishes cancer-causing infections requiring vigilant monitoring from low-risk types causing cosmetic concerns but minimal cancer risk.
HPV 16 is the highest-risk HPV type, warranting particular concern when detected. Individual genotype identification enables risk stratification—high-risk type detection necessitates regular monitoring, specialist referral, and partner notification, while low-risk detection guides wart management without cancer concerns.

Cancer Risks in Men
High-risk HPV causes multiple cancers in men. Oropharyngeal cancer rates now exceed cervical cancer in many developed countries, with HPV 16 causing majority of cases transmitted through oral sex. Symptoms include persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, ear pain, enlarged lymph nodes, and throat lesions requiring evaluation.
Anal cancer risk increases dramatically in men who have sex with men, immunocompromised individuals, and those with HIV infection. Persistent high-risk HPV infection causes anal dysplasia progressing to invasive cancer if untreated. Symptoms include anal bleeding, pain, itching, discharge, and palpable masses.
Penile cancer, while rare, results primarily from HPV 16 infection. Risk factors include HPV infection, uncircumcised status, poor hygiene, smoking, and multiple sexual partners. Early detection through vigilant self-examination and HPV testing enables curative treatment before invasive spread.
Genital Warts and Low-Risk Types
HPV types 6 and 11 cause visible genital warts appearing on penis, scrotum, groin, thighs, or anal area. Warts present as flesh-colored or gray growths, raised or flat, single or multiple clusters, small or large coalescent masses. While not cancerous, genital warts cause psychological distress, transmission concerns, and require treatment for resolution.
Treatment options include topical medications applied at home, cryotherapy freezing warts, surgical excision, electrocautery burning, and laser removal. However, treatments eliminate visible warts without clearing underlying HPV infection, necessitating continued monitoring and safe sex practices preventing partner transmission.
Testing Methodology and Sample Collection
Our molecular PCR testing detects HPV DNA with exceptional sensitivity and specificity from semen samples. Collection occurs in private settings at your Dubai location—from Dubai Marina to Arabian Ranches, Business Bay to Jumeirah Village Circle—with our DHA-licensed medical staff providing discrete, professional service.
Semen sample collection requires brief abstinence (2-3 days optimal) before collection, clean collection container provided by our team, immediate proper storage maintaining sample integrity, and transport to certified laboratory for PCR analysis. No fasting required and same-day collection available provide convenience while ensuring accurate results.
Results delivered within 72 hours identify specific HPV genotypes present, distinguishing high-risk cancer-causing types from low-risk strains, enabling appropriate medical follow-up and management strategies.
Who Should Get Tested
HPV genotype testing benefits men with visible genital warts requiring causative type identification, partners of women with diagnosed high-risk HPV or cervical abnormalities, men who have sex with men at elevated cancer risk, individuals with compromised immune systems, those with multiple sexual partners or new relationships, and anyone experiencing unexplained genital, anal, or throat symptoms.
Testing enables informed decisions about vaccination (effective for types not yet acquired), sexual health discussions with partners, surveillance protocols for high-risk infections, and specialist referrals when indicated. Knowledge of HPV status empowers proactive health management rather than reactive crisis intervention.
Medical Consultation and Management
Every HPV test includes physician consultation following result delivery. Our DHA-licensed doctors explain genotype-specific risks, develop monitoring protocols for high-risk infections, discuss treatment options for genital warts, provide partner notification guidance, recommend HPV vaccination if appropriate, arrange specialist referrals for concerning findings, and establish surveillance schedules.
Persistent HPV infection that is not cleared by the patient's immune system over time is associated with increased chance of progressing to high-grade dysplasia and invasive cancer. Regular monitoring enables intervention during treatable precancerous stages rather than advanced disease requiring aggressive therapy.
Prevention Strategies
HPV vaccination prevents infection with vaccine-covered types—protecting against HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, and additional high-risk types depending on vaccine formulation. While most effective before sexual activity begins, vaccination benefits previously exposed individuals by protecting against types not yet acquired.
Additional prevention includes consistent condom use (reduces but doesn't eliminate transmission), limiting sexual partners, avoiding sexual activity during active wart outbreaks, regular screening for at-risk individuals, tobacco cessation (increases cancer progression risk), and maintaining strong immune function through healthy lifestyle.
Confidential Testing and Privacy
Complete confidentiality protects your privacy throughout testing, results delivery, and medical consultation. Sexual health testing carries stigma, but HPV represents normal sexually transmitted infection requiring management like any medical condition. Our discrete service ensures comfort while providing essential health information.
