The HPV Detection by PCR Test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in a sample (usually from the cervix, vagina, anus, throat, or penile area).
It uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and identify specific strains of HPV, including high-risk types such as HPV-16 and HPV-18, which are linked to cancers (especially cervical cancer).
PCR is highly sensitive and specific, making it a preferred method for early and accurate detection of HPV infection.
