HPV test
Discover Human Papillomavirus (HPV) quickly and easily with GetTested’s HPV test. With this rapid test, you can early identify HPV infections, especially the high-risk types linked to cervical cancer. This simple cervical swab test provides quick results with high accuracy, crucial for effective screening and prevention of more serious health conditions. The test is designed for women.
What is the GetTested HPV Test?
The GetTested HPV Test is a quick test for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV), the most common viral infection of the reproductive organs. This test uses a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay to qualitatively identify HPV antigens from cervical swab samples, which is a critical part of the screening process for cervical cancer, particularly caused by high-risk HPV types 16 and 18.
Who Should Take the Test and Why?
The HPV test is recommended for women as part of routine health check-ups, especially to detect early signs of potential HPV infections that could lead to cervical cancer. Considering that almost all cases of cervical cancer contain HPV DNA, it is crucial to identify and manage these infections early. This test is also relevant for individuals who have not been vaccinated against HPV or where vaccine coverage is insufficient.
Why is the HPV Test Important?
Early detection of HPV can lead to more effective treatment and better prognosis by preventing the development of more serious conditions like cervical cancer. GetTested's HPV Rapid Test offers high accuracy with a relative sensitivity and specificity exceeding 99%, making it a reliable tool in the fight against HPV-related diseases.
The test is CE-approved for professional use.*

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
