HPV Testing and Genotyping

Human papillomavirus (HPV) high-risk testing is available as a screening  for women over age 30 and as a reflex test from an ASCUS, LSIL or HSIL PAP. HPV Genotyping has also been validated with both ThinPrep and SurePath and can be ordered as a reflex from a positive HPV high-risk test.
