HPV DNA testing is essential for women’s health as it detects high-risk strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) that can lead to cervical cancer. Unlike a Pap smear, which identifies abnormal cells, the HPV DNA test directly detects the presence of HPV DNA. For women over 30, this test is often combined with a Pap smear for comprehensive screening. A negative result suggests a lower risk of cervical cancer, while a positive result indicates the presence of high-risk HPV types, necessitating further monitoring. Regular HPV DNA testing is crucial for early detection and prevention, helping women make informed decisions about their health.
