HPV Collection Kit

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a cause of many cancers in the anogenital and

oropharyngeal areas in women and men. The high mortality rate cervical cancer could be

reduced through a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, early diagnosis, effec

tive screening and treatment programs.

Our HPV collection kit is to collect cervical specimen for early detection & cervical cancer

screening, including TCT test, Pap smear test, or DNA-based PCR assay. It can be collected

by professionals or self collection at home for privacy.

Clinical Diagnosis

• Cervical Cancer Screening
  It is a crucial tool for cervical cancer screening. By collecting cell samples from the cervix and detecting the presence of HPV and its types, doctors can determine the risk of the examinee developing cervical cancer. For example, in large – scale cervical cancer screening programs, medical staff use HPV collection kits to collect samples from eligible women, enabling early detection of HPV infection and timely intervention.
• Diagnosis of Other Related Diseases
  Besides cervical cancer, HPV infection is closely associated with the development of various malignancies, including anal cancer, penile cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer. The HPV collection kit can be used to collect samples from these areas, assisting doctors in diagnosing related diseases. For instance, for patients with anal discomfort or suspected lesions, the kit can be used to collect cell samples from around the anus or inside the anal canal for HPV detection, which helps in the early detection of anal precancerous lesions or cancer.

Disease Monitoring

• Evaluation of Treatment Efficacy
  For patients diagnosed with HPV infection or related diseases, regular HPV testing is necessary after treatment to assess the treatment effect. Using the HPV collection kit to collect samples regularly and detect changes in the HPV viral load or its persistence can help doctors determine whether the treatment is effective and whether the treatment plan needs to be adjusted. For example, after a cervical cancer patient undergoes surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, regular collection of cervical samples for HPV detection is carried out. If the HPV test result turns negative, it indicates that the treatment may be effective; if it remains positive, further examination or other treatment measures may be required.
• Relapse Monitoring
  Even after a patient has completed treatment and achieved clinical cure, there is still a risk of relapse. Regular sample collection and testing using the HPV collection kit help detect the reinfection of HPV or the recurrence of the disease in a timely manner, enabling early response. For example, during the follow – up of a vulvar cancer patient after cure, regular collection of samples from the vulva for HPV detection can promptly identify possible signs of recurrence, improving the patient’s survival rate and quality of life.

Epidemiological Research

• Investigation of Disease Prevalence
  In epidemiological research, HPV collection kits can be used for large – scale population surveys of HPV infection, understanding the infection rate, type distribution, etc. of HPV among different regions, ages, genders, and other populations. This provides a basis for formulating disease prevention and control strategies and measures. For example, in some epidemiological surveys of HPV infection among women in specific regions, researchers use HPV collection kits to collect a large number of samples to analyze the epidemic trends and characteristics of HPV infection in that area, providing data support for the local cervical cancer prevention program.
• Research on Transmission Routes
  By collecting samples from different populations and different body parts for HPV detection, combined with other epidemiological investigation methods, the transmission routes of HPV can be studied, such as sexual transmission, mother – to – child transmission, and indirect contact transmission. This helps in deeply understanding the transmission patterns of HPV and formulating more effective prevention and control measures. For example, when studying mother – to – child transmission of HPV, the collection kit can be used to collect samples from the cervix and vagina of the parturient and from the oral cavity and throat of the newborn, detect the presence of HPV, and analyze the possibility and influencing factors of mother – to – child transmission.

Health Check – ups

• Routine Health Check – up Items
  In some comprehensive health check – up institutions, HPV testing has become an important item in the routine physical examination for women. The HPV collection kit is used to collect samples during the physical examination, allowing women to understand their HPV infection status in a timely manner and enhancing their self – health care awareness. Many health check – up centers provide HPV testing services for women aged 30 and above. By collecting cervical samples for HPV genotyping, a comprehensive health assessment report is provided to the examinees, reminding them to pay attention to the risk of cervical cancer.
• Screening for Specific Populations
  For some populations with high – risk factors for HPV infection, such as those with multiple sexual partners, early sexual debut, and immunodeficiency, HPV testing is even more necessary in health check – ups. The HPV collection kit can be used to collect samples from these specific populations to detect potential HPV infection early and provide timely health guidance and intervention.
