Clinical Information

Testing is performed using the APTIMA HPV nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of E6/E7 viral messenger RNA (mRNA) from 14 high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) in cervical specimens collected in ThinPrep PreservCyt Solution. Results are reported as positive or negative as the test does not determine the specific HPV type present or provide a quantitative viral load. The use of this test is indicated: 1. In women 30 years and older, with the results used in combination with cervical cytology to assess the presence or absence of high-risk HPV types, to guide patient management. 2. In women 21 years or older with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) cervical cytology results to determine the need for referral to colposcopy. The results of this test are not intended to prevent women from proceeding to colposcopy.
