LOINC description : Men who are at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases for HPV-related anal cancer
may be tested similar to a cervical Pap smear where the anal lining is swabbed and
cells examined microscopically. HPV DNA tests can also be performed on these samples
and similarly, positive results need to be followed up with further testing, including
a more thorough exam and possible biopsy. HPV type 16 and 18 are the most common carcinogenic
HPV types, with HPV type 16 as the greatest risk for HPV persistence, along with other
risk factors of increasing age, smoking, immunosuppression, inflammation, hormones
and genetic factors. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the cobas
HPV test kit which uses PCR and nucleic acid hybridization for the detection of 14
high-risk (HR) HPV types.;
