Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common viral infection that often causes no symptoms. While many infections clear naturally, some high-risk types can lead to genital warts, abnormal cervical cell changes, and certain cancers if left untreated.

Our experienced team offers accurate testing, clear guidance, and personalised treatment plans to help protect your long-term health in a comfortable and supportive environment.

HPV Testing Services at Prima Health
We provide a complete range of HPV testing services designed to detect infection early and help reduce the risk of future complications.
HPV DNA Testing
HPV DNA testing identifies the presence of high-risk strains of HPV that are associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.
Unlike tests that simply look for abnormal cells, HPV DNA testing detects the virus itself. This allows healthcare professionals to identify patients who may need closer monitoring before abnormal cell changes develop.
This test is commonly recommended for:
- Assessing cervical cancer risk
- Routine cervical screening
- Follow-up after abnormal smear results
- Monitoring persistent HPV infection
Cervical Screening (Smear Test)
A cervical smear test, also called cervical screening, checks the health of the cervix by collecting a small sample of cervical cells.
The sample is examined for:
- High-risk HPV infection
- Abnormal cervical cells
- Early signs of cervical disease
Regular cervical screening plays a vital role in preventing cervical cancer because abnormal changes can often be treated before cancer develops.
HPV Testing for Women
Women are more commonly offered HPV testing as part of cervical screening programmes.
Testing may be recommended if you:
- Are due for routine cervical screening
- Have abnormal bleeding
- Have previously tested positive for HPV
- Have abnormal smear results
- Want reassurance about your cervical health
Our clinicians explain every stage of the testing process and ensure patients feel comfortable throughout the appointment.
HPV Testing for Men
Men can carry and spread HPV even without symptoms. Private HPV assessments may be recommended if you have genital warts, a partner with HPV, or concerns after unprotected sex.
Our clinicians provide confidential advice, assessment, and guidance based on your individual needs.
HPV Screening After Abnormal Cervical Results
If your cervical screening shows abnormal cell changes, additional HPV testing may be needed to check for high-risk HPV.
We explain your results, recommend any further investigations, and provide appropriate follow-up care.

Many patients prefer private HPV testing because it offers greater flexibility and faster access to care.
At Prima Health, private appointments provide:
- Convenient appointment times
- Minimal waiting periods
- Confidential consultations
- Personalised discussions with experienced clinicians
- Prompt results
- Ongoing support and follow-up care
Our team aims to make every appointment relaxed, informative, and reassuring.
Conditions Linked to HPV
Most HPV infections do not cause serious health problems. However, certain high-risk strains can increase the risk of developing several medical conditions.
Genital Warts
Genital warts are caused by certain low-risk types of HPV and may appear as small bumps or skin growths around the genital or anal area.
Although they are not cancerous, treatment can relieve symptoms and improve comfort.
Cervical HPV Infection
High-risk HPV can infect the cervix and, in some cases, lead to abnormal cervical cell changes over time.
Regular cervical screening helps detect these changes early, allowing prompt treatment if needed.
Persistent High-Risk HPV
Most HPV infections clear naturally, but some high-risk types can remain in the body for years.
Regular monitoring helps detect abnormal cell changes early and reduces the risk of HPV-related cancers.
HPV and Cervical Cell Changes
HPV can cause abnormal changes to cervical cells, ranging from mild to severe.
Most abnormal cell changes can be treated successfully before they develop into cervical cancer.
HPV-Related Anal, Penile, Vaginal, Vulval, and Throat Cancers
Persistent high-risk HPV is linked to cancers affecting the anus, penis, vagina, vulva, cervix, and throat, although these are uncommon.
Regular screening, early diagnosis, and appropriate follow-up care help reduce the risk of these cancers.
HPV Symptoms and Warning Signs
Many people with HPV have no symptoms at all.
When symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Genital warts
- Unusual genital lumps
- Persistent itching
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Bleeding after intercourse
- Pelvic discomfort
- Changes around the anus
- Persistent sore throat or difficulty swallowing in some HPV-related throat infections
Because HPV often develops silently, routine testing remains one of the most effective ways to protect your health.
Understanding Your HPV Test Results
Receiving HPV test results can be worrying, but a positive result does not mean you have cancer.
Your results may show:
HPV Negative
No high-risk HPV was detected.
HPV Positive Without Cell Changes
The virus is present, but no abnormal cells were found. Follow-up testing is usually recommended.
HPV Positive With Abnormal Cells
Additional assessment, including colposcopy, may be required to examine the cervix more closely.
Our healthcare professionals explain your results clearly and discuss the next steps based on your individual situation.
HPV Treatment Options at Prima Health
Treatment depends on the type of HPV infection and whether abnormal tissue changes are present.
Treatment for Genital Warts
Treatment for genital warts may include prescription creams, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), or minor procedures to remove the warts.
While treatment removes visible warts, it does not eliminate the HPV virus itself.
Monitoring High-Risk HPV Infections
Many high-risk HPV infections clear naturally without treatment. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor your condition and detect any changes early.
Monitoring may include repeat HPV testing, cervical screening, and clinical examinations when needed.
Colposcopy Referral and Follow-Up Care
If your test results show significant cervical changes, we may refer you for a colposcopy to examine the cervix more closely.
Our team will explain the process, arrange appropriate follow-up care, and support you throughout your treatment.
Managing Abnormal Cervical Cell Changes
Treatment depends on the severity of the abnormal cells and may involve monitoring, repeat testing, or removing the affected tissue.
Early treatment helps prevent cervical cell changes from developing into cervical cancer.
Personalised Treatment Plans
Every patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on their test results, medical history, and individual health needs.
Our clinicians explain all available options and work with you to choose the most appropriate care.
HPV Prevention and Long-Term Protection
While HPV is very common, there are effective ways to reduce your risk of infection and related health problems.
Although no method can completely prevent HPV, taking a few simple steps can significantly lower your risk and support your long-term health.
Here are four important ways to help prevent HPV:
- Getting the HPV vaccine
- Attending regular cervical screening
- Practising safer sex
- Maintaining a healthy immune system
At Prima Health, we provide expert advice on HPV prevention, screening, and vaccination to support your long-term wellbeing.
