Description Description
At STD Hero, our Oral HPV test looks for 14 high-risk genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The test results unequivocally confirm the presence of two high-risk genotypes, HPV 16 and HPV 18. HPV 16 is directly linked to nearly 90% of HPV oropharyngeal cancer cases. HPV is the cause of roughly 60% to 70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States
HPV Screen
HPV has low-risk and high-risk genotypes. Typically, Low-risk genotypes are associated with either no symptoms or mild symptoms, such as papillomas (warts). In contrast, high-risk genotypes are strongly linked to an increased risk of developing certain cancers. This test effectively screens for 14 high-risk HPV strains (or genotypes)—16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68. If the test results are positive, it will accurately confirm whether your infection is caused by HPV 16 or HPV 18.
HPV 16
Overall, HPV 16 is the most common high-risk genotype and can increase your risk of developing certain cancers. HPV 16 is responsible for nearly 90% of HPV related oropharyngeal cancer cases in the United States.
HPV 18
While HPV 18 is a very common high-risk genotype, it can increase your risk of developing certain cancers.
Our HPV test looks for 14 high-risk genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The test results unequivocally confirm the presence of two high-risk genotypes, HPV 16 and HPV 18. These genotypes are directly linked to over 70% of cervical cancer cases and 90% of anal cancer cases.

If the test results are positive, it will accurately confirm whether your infection is caused by HPV 16 or HPV 18.
HPV 16
Overall, HPV 16 is the most common high-risk genotype and can increase your risk of developing cancer. HPV 16 and 18 combined are responsible for over 70% of cervical cancer cases worldwide.
HPV 18
While HPV 18 is a very common high-risk genotype, it can increase your risk of developing cancer. HPV 16 and 18 combined are responsible for over 70% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide.
