This page covers HPV testing. For the vaccine itself, see our HPV vaccination programme.

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 covers both cellular changes and high-risk HPV strains in a single visit. Every 5 years if results are negative.

Men

Male HPV Test, urine-based ($250)

Urine-based HPV testing for men who want to check for HPV infection. No vaccination, no swab, no fasting needed. Mediway does not perform anal HPV testing; for that, consult a colorectal specialist.

What do HPV results mean?

Understanding your result and what happens next.

  1. HPV DNA

    Negative

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Preparation before your test

For women (pap smear or HPV DNA)

  • Schedule when not menstruating, ideally mid-cycle (10-14 days before expected period)
  • Avoid vaginal intercourse, douching, tampons, or spermicide for 48 hours before the test
  • Wear a skirt for convenience on the day
  • Bring photo ID

For men (Male HPV Test, urine-based)

  • Hold your urine for at least 1 to 2 hours before your appointment
  • No fasting required
  • Bring photo ID

Co-test (pap + HPV)

Same preparation as pap smear. The test is collected in a single visit, with one swab processed for both the pap and HPV DNA.

    Frequently asked questions

    01How much does HPV testing cost at Mediway?

    HPV DNA test is $180 for women (cervical). Male HPV Test (urine-based) is $250. 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.

    02What'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) covers both the virus and the cellular changes in one visit, and is recommended for women aged 30+ per Singapore guidelines.

    03Is HPV testing available for men?

    Yes, Mediway offers a urine-based Male HPV Test at $250. The sample is collected from a first-void urine specimen, no swab required. Note: Mediway does not perform anal HPV testing; for that, please consult a colorectal specialist. There is no FDA-approved routine HPV screening programme for men, so urine HPV testing is appropriate when you want clarity on your HPV status.

    04What 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.

    05How 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 screening schedule exists; testing is done if you want clarity on your HPV status or have a clinical concern. Discuss frequency with your doctor.

    06How 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.

    07Do 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 (Male HPV urine test): hold your urine for at least 1 to 2 hours before your appointment, no fasting needed. Bring photo ID.

    08Does 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.
