myLAB Box Cervical Cancer Screening using HPV 

Cervical Cancer Screening using HPV

Cervical cancer is caused by the sexually transmitted infection (STI) known as genital HPV (Human Papillomavirus), which is possessed by nearly half of all adults in America. Although there are many strains of genital HPV, approximately 14 are considered high-risk. However, women who are thirty and older who test positive for genital HPV are more likely to develop infections that fail to die off. These HPV infections may eventually result in changes in the cells of the cervix. That’s why early screening and treatment are crucial to combat the risk of cervical cancer.

Why Screen for Cervical Cancer
Screening tests can prevent cervical cancer or find it early enough to treat and cure. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV, the most common sexually-transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. The myLAB Box cervical cancer screening uses advanced DNA technology to look for the high-risk types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. The test can tell if you are at risk of developing cervical cancer before any cancer cells appear.

How do I get screened for cervical cancer?
In the past, if you wanted to screen for cervical cancer, you had to go to the doctor for a Pap test (also known as a Pap smear) or a Pap test plus HPV testing.

• The Pap test looks for changes in a sample of cells from the cervix, the narrow opening from the vagina into the uterus.
• HPV tests look at the DNA or RNA in cervical cells to detect the high-risk HPV types that may cause cervical cancer.

HPV testing is the most accurate way to identify women at risk of developing cervical cancer.

How accurate is the myLAB Box HPV cervical cancer screening test?
The myLAB Box HPV home test is FDA-approved for primary cervical cancer screening in women 30 and over. The myLAB Box screening test uses a highly accurate process called genotyping to specifically identify the 2 high-risk types known to cause most cervical cancers, HPV-16 and HPV-18. The test also tells you if you are positive or negative for a group of 12 other high-risk HPV types: 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68. This gives you more information about your cervical cancer risk and empowers you to take charge of your health by screening for cervical cancer from the comfort of home.

Does the HPV test screen for genital warts?
No, the HPV test screens for the high-risk HPV types that cause cervical cancer. Genital warts are caused by low-risk HPV types. Genital warts are bumps that appear on the genitals or in and around the anus. They can be itchy and uncomfortable, but rarely lead to cancer. If you think you have genital warts, see your healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.

Who should get the HPV screening test – and who shouldn’t?
It depends on your age and gender.

Do I need to screen for cervical cancer if I’ve had the HPV vaccine?
Yes! It is important to keep getting regular screenings for cervical cancer even if you have had the HPV vaccine because the HPV vaccine does not protect against all high-risk HPV types that cause cervical cancer.
