Which HPV test should you choose?

The right test depends on age, gender, and screening context.

Women under 30

Pap smear alone ($60)

HPV is very common in younger women and usually clears naturally. Pap smear detects cellular changes worth monitoring. Per Singapore guidelines, every 3 years from age 25.

Women 30+

Pap + HPV co-test ($220)

Singapore's recommended screening method for women aged 30 to 69. Co-testing catches both cellular changes and high-risk HPV, making it the most sensitive option. Every 5 years if results are negative.

Men (MSM / HIV+ / prior HPV)

Anal HPV DNA ($180)

Anal HPV testing for men in higher-risk groups (MSM, HIV-positive, or with prior anal HPV exposure). No FDA-approved routine HPV screening exists for men, so anal testing is done case-by-case.

What do HPV results mean?

Understanding your result and what happens next.

HPV DNA: Negative

No high-risk HPV detected. If you're following routine screening (women 30+), your next test is typically 5 years away.

HPV DNA: Low-risk positive

HPV detected but not a cancer-risk strain. We counsel you, recommend repeat testing in 6-12 months. Most low-risk HPV clears naturally.

HPV DNA: High-risk positive

A high-risk HPV strain (types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58) detected. Next step depends on your pap smear result:

High-risk HPV+ with normal pap: Repeat co-test in 12 months to see if the virus clears or cellular changes develop.
High-risk HPV+ with abnormal pap: Referred to a gynaecologist for colposcopy, a closer examination of the cervix with biopsy if needed.

Pap smear: Abnormal

Cellular changes detected on cervix. Categories include ASCUS (mild), LSIL (low-grade), HSIL (high-grade), or AGC. Mediway refers to a gynaecologist for colposcopy when appropriate.

We do not perform colposcopy at Mediway, as it's a specialist procedure. We handle counselling, repeat testing for low-risk HPV+, and co-ordinate the referral to a trusted gynaecology partner if needed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does HPV testing cost at Mediway?

HPV DNA test is $180 (for women cervical or men anal). Pap smear alone is $60. Pap + HPV DNA co-test is $220 (better value for women 30+). Consultation is $38 if needed. All prices inclusive of GST.

What's the difference between HPV DNA test and pap smear?

HPV DNA test detects the virus itself (and whether it's a high-risk strain). Pap smear detects cellular changes caused by HPV. Co-testing (both together) is the most sensitive screening, recommended for women aged 30+ per Singapore guidelines.

Is HPV testing available for men?

Yes, at Mediway we offer anal HPV DNA testing for men ($180), particularly for MSM, HIV-positive men, or those with anal HPV concerns. No FDA-approved routine HPV test exists for men, but anal testing is available in specific clinical contexts.

What if my HPV DNA result is positive?

A positive HPV DNA result doesn't mean cancer. Most HPV clears naturally within 1-2 years. For low-risk HPV positives, we counsel and recommend repeat testing in 6-12 months. For high-risk HPV + abnormal pap, we refer to a gynaecologist for colposcopy.

How often should I get HPV testing?

For women: follow Singapore screening guidelines: pap smear every 3 years from age 25-29; pap + HPV co-test every 5 years from age 30-69. For men: no routine schedule; test case-by-case if indicated (MSM, prior anal HPV, HIV+).

How fast are HPV test results?

HPV DNA results typically 3-5 working days. Pap smear 3-7 working days. Co-test results 5-7 working days. Delivered by phone, WhatsApp, or email.

Do I need to prepare for HPV testing?

For women: avoid vaginal intercourse, douching, tampons, and spermicide 48 hours before; schedule when not menstruating. For men (anal HPV test): no specific preparation needed. Bring photo ID.

Does Mediway do colposcopy?

No. Colposcopy (further investigation after abnormal pap / high-risk HPV+) is done by gynaecologists. If your result needs colposcopy, we refer to a specialist. In-house, we handle counselling, repeat testing for low-risk HPV+, and referral co-ordination.
