About the HPV swab (28 individually typed LR & HR DNA subtypes)
The HPV swab (28 individually typed LR & HR DNA subtypes) is a confidential sexual health test offered at South Kensington Medical and Dental, located at 20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL — a two-minute walk from South Kensington tube station. A swab sample is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 6 days" and are sent securely via email.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide. There are over 200 types of HPV, of which approximately 40 affect the genital area. HPV types are classified as low-risk (associated with genital warts) or high-risk (associated with cellular changes that may, over time, lead to certain cancers). The NHS cervical screening programme tests for high-risk HPV types. HPV testing involves collecting a swab sample, which is then analysed using PCR or hybridisation technology to identify the presence and type of HPV DNA. Most HPV infections are cleared by the immune system within two years.
South Kensington Medical and Dental is a two-minute walk from South Kensington Underground station on the Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines. The clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 9am, with extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm, Fridays from 8am to 5pm, and weekends from 10am to 4pm. All samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory, and your visit is entirely confidential.
