HPV Test

Along with a pap test, your doctor would suggest an HPV test at the same time. It is often performed on cervix cells to detect the DNA of some high-risk HPV strains that are associated with genital cancer. Doctors recommended this test in women after 30 years old to reduce the risk of some dangerous complications. In general, there are around 14 HPV categories that would trigger cancerous cells. With an HPV test, your doctor can easily find them out quickly.  [3]
