HPV28 (Genotyping of 28 Types of HPV – High and Low Risk)

Identification of HPV Genetic Material in the Patient's Body and Determination of the Type of Virus Identified

The genetic material of 28 types of HPV is detected:

• 19 genotypes with high oncogenic potential: 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 69, 73, 82
• 9 genotypes with low oncogenic potential: 6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

HPV is the most common cause of viral infections in the reproductive system. Nearly 200 different types of HPV have been identified.

Infection Symptoms:

In Women:

• Low-oncogenic HPV types: Mild external lesions (warts, condylomas) in the genital area, vagina, vulva, cervix, around the anus, or on the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. Symptoms usually resolve within a few months, with approximately 90% clearing within 2 years from the time of infection.
• High-oncogenic HPV types: Mild external lesions (warts, condylomas) in the genital area, vagina, vulva, cervix, around the anus, or on the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. Symptoms may persist longer and lead to cervical cancer, anal cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, or oropharyngeal cancer. Cervical cancer is by far the most common HPV-related disease. Almost all cases of cervical cancer in women can be attributed to HPV infection. HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for about two-thirds of cervical cancer cases.

In Men:

• Low-oncogenic HPV types: Mild external lesions (warts, condylomas) in the genital area, urethra, glans, inner foreskin, around the anus, or on the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. Symptoms usually resolve within a few months, with approximately 90% clearing within 2 years from the time of infection.
• High-oncogenic HPV types: Mild external lesions (warts, condylomas) in the genital area, urethra, glans, inner foreskin, around the anus, or on the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. Symptoms may persist longer and lead to anal cancer, penile cancer, or oropharyngeal cancer.

Transmission Routes:

In Women: Sexual contact (penetrative, non-penetrative, anal, or oral), perinatal transmission (mother-to-child infection), skin contact.

In Men: Sexual contact (penetrative, non-penetrative, anal, or oral), skin contact.

Instructions for sampling are included in the package.
