Test Code LAB1365 HPV DNA DETECTION with GENOTYPING, PCR

Important Note

This test is for Mayo Access and Lab Use Only.

HPV testing may be performed on the same ThinPrep sample submitted for cytologic evaluation. This test can only be performed on cervical samples. To order HPV testing on a ThinPrep Pap test, circle yes for HPV Detection, in the ThinPrep area on the laboratory requisition form or in Epic under Pap Test (LAB4), question #4 under the prompt “Please Specify HPV Testing”.  If you have questions, please call Cytopathology at (802)-847-5121.

HPV Testing:  Anal Pap tests have not been approved by the FDA for HPV testing therefore, our laboratory will not perform HPV testing on this type of sample.  There is no FDA-approved HPV test for anal or oral samples, therefore we do not perform this testing and will not forward to a reference lab.

Outside clients submit a manual order.

Vaginal thinprep requests for HPV Vaginal Detection with Genotyping, PCR, ThinPrep will be sent to Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
