CERVICAL SMEARS AND HPV TESTING
All Smears performed using liquid based cytology (LBC) and also test HPV within the endocervix.
HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is responsible for the majority of cases of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus spread through skin to skin sexual contact. The virus is also responsible for genital warts.
We will screen for the major serotypes of HPV at the same time as performing the smear. Types 16 and 18 are responsible for over 70 % of cervical cancer.
We provide full follow up support and advice on management of abnormal smears and HPV. HPV testing acts as an early marker of cervical cancer risk often prior to changes seen on a traditional smear.

GENITAL WARTS AND HPV
Types 6 and 11 of HPV are responsible for over 90 % of genital warts. Genital warts are one of the most common STDs in the UK and highly infectious. Low risk HPV subtypes usually give risk to genital warts, as opposed to high risk subtypes which are a risk factor for cervical cancer.
If a client has no evidence of HPV types 6 or 11 on their smear and no history of genital warts, then consideration can be given to receiving the cervical cancer vaccine. Please see the Cervical Cancer vaccine section of our site for further information.
