Answers:
Your Pap test is a screening of your cervix. The Pap test is looking for abnormal cells of the cervix that are caused by HPV. The Pap test is not looking for HPV of any other place but the cervix.
The HPV test screens for 13 high risk HPV types. The HPV does not commonly screen for low risk HPV of the genital area.
Low risk and high risk HPV types
What are low- and high-risk HPV types?
•The genital HPV types can be divided into two broad groups (low-risk and high-risk HPVs) depending upon their association (or lack of association) with cancers of the lower genital tract.
•Low-risk HPV types (6, 11, 42,43,44, 54,61,70,72, and 81) are virtually never found in cancers.
•High-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82) have been identified in cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, and penis.
•The most common types detected in genital warts are HPV 6 and HPV 11.
•The most common HPV type detected in both normal women and in women with cervical cancer is HPV 16.
•The majority of cervical cancers (80%) are caused by just 4 HPV types (16, 18, 31, and 45).
