How long does it take to get the results of an HPV test?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it takes 3-7 days. HPV (human papillomavirus) infection, especially high-risk types, is associated with cervical cancer. Further colposcopic biopsy can be performed to determine the specific condition. Symptomatic treatment should be given, and follow-up is recommended around 3 months after treatment.
