This group identifies HPV genotypes 16 and 18, which are important in cervical-cancer risk assessment. An HPV result indicates detection of a virus, not a diagnosis of cancer. Follow-up depends on age, previous screening, other test results and the applicable screening pathway.
This group contains the additional HPV genotypes specifically listed for this panel. HPV types differ in their clinical implications; the laboratory’s interpretation and your screening history guide follow-up. Detection alone does not diagnose a precancerous lesion or cancer, and a negative result does not replace recommended cervical screening.
HPV types 6 and 11 are commonly associated with genital warts and have different clinical implications from the HPV types most strongly linked with cervical cancer. The panel checks the specific genotypes listed here. A result is interpreted alongside symptoms and the reason the specimen was tested.

How to prepare
This panel uses a semen sample. Abstain from ejaculation for two to five days beforehand — less than two days lowers the sample volume, more than five reduces quality, and both make the result less reliable. Collect the sample as instructed in the kit and get it back to us promptly. Our team will talk you through collection privately when you book.
Who should take this test
For men wanting to know their HPV status across twenty-nine genotypes, including the high-risk types associated with cancers. Often chosen after a partner's abnormal cervical screening result, or before starting a relationship. HPV is extremely common and usually clears on its own; a positive result identifies which genotype is present rather than predicting disease, and our doctor explains what that means for you and your partner.

Most HPV infections clear on their own within a couple of years and never cause a problem. That single fact is why a result reading only "HPV detected" is close to useless, and why this test reports which of the twenty-nine types you actually have.
Why a named type is more useful than a positive
Different HPV types behave in completely different ways. Some are associated with visible warts and carry essentially no cancer risk. Others cause nothing visible at all and are the ones that warrant attention. A test that reports only presence or absence leaves you and your doctor with no basis for deciding what to do next.
Naming the genotype changes that. It determines whether monitoring is warranted, whether a wart you already have is explained by what was found, whether vaccination still has anything to offer you, and what is worth telling a partner. It is the difference between a result and a plan.
What a semen sample represents
This test is designed for men and analyses a semen sample, which reflects the genital tract at the time of collection. That is a real answer to a real question, and it is also a bounded one.
HPV in men can be present on the skin of the genital area, in the anal canal or in the throat, and none of those sites is represented by this sample. A negative therefore means that no HPV was detected in what was collected, not that you carry none anywhere. If you have a visible lesion or symptoms at another site, say so when you book: that calls for a different examination and sometimes a different sample.
Persistence matters more than a single detection
HPV is extremely common, and having encountered it at some point is unremarkable. The immune system clears the great majority of infections without any intervention, typically over months to around two years.
What carries risk is persistence: the same high-risk type still detectable long after it should have gone. A single result is therefore a snapshot whose meaning depends on what a later one shows. If a high-risk type is found, the doctor will discuss when to repeat the test, because two results separated by time say considerably more than one on its own.
When a partner has had an abnormal result
One of the commonest reasons men book this test is that a partner has had an abnormal cervical screening result or a positive HPV test of her own. It is worth being clear about what your own result does and does not change.
It does not alter her follow-up, which is decided by her results and not yours. It does inform decisions on your side: whether vaccination is still worth having, whether anything warrants monitoring, and how to think about risk going forward. It is also not a timeline. HPV can sit undetected for years, so a positive says nothing reliable about when or from whom it was acquired, which is worth knowing before that conversation.
Vaccination after a result
Vaccination does not clear an infection you already have. It does protect against types you have not yet acquired, and because this panel reports genotypes individually, the result shows precisely which of the vaccine-covered types are and are not present in your sample.
Results take 72 hours and are reviewed by a doctor before release, followed by a consultation covering what was found, whether vaccination makes sense, and whether anything needs a specialist opinion.
