HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS
 
Site Cervical swab
HPV DNA Assay Not Detected
 
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Hybrid Capture assay is a screen for the presence of 13 HPV types known to be associated with cervical neoplasia (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59/68). A negative result does not remove the need for appropriate gynaecological follow-up.


Well, yay. So, time to book a vaccine, then!
