HPV Genotyping Test in Barcelona
The genotyping test is an advanced tool that allows precise identification of the type or genetic variant of sexually transmitted pathogens. Through a simple biological sample, this laboratory test provides detailed information about the infection, its possible progression, and the response to specific treatments.
Unlike other analyses, genotyping not only detects the presence of an infection but also reveals its genetic profile, which is crucial for a more accurate diagnosis, personalized follow-up, and the prevention of potential future complications.
What is the Human Papillomavirus genotyping test?
Genotyping testing is a laboratory analysis performed on a biological sample (genital swab). Its purpose is to identify the genetic material of the pathogens responsible for certain Sexually Transmitted Infections (STDs), allowing for a more precise and personalized diagnosis.
It is an essential tool for advanced diagnosis, follow-up, and preventive screening, with very high reliability, even in asymptomatic cases.
Which infections can it detect?
With our genotyping test in Barcelona, you can identify the Human Papillomavirus (HPV):
High-risk genotypes for cancer
Low-risk genotypes for cancer
High-risk genotypes for warts
Many of these infections can remain latent or asymptomatic, so regular testing is essential for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
When should the genotyping test be performed?
- You have had unprotected sexual intercourse
- You have had sexual relations with multiple partners
- You have had sexual contact with someone diagnosed with an STD
- You present symptoms such as genital ulcers, discharge, skin rashes, fever, or fatigue
- As part of a preventive check-up or follow-up of previous infections
