The HPV DNA + LBC test is a combined screening test used to detect high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and evaluate cervical cells for abnormalities.

• HPV DNA Test: Detects the presence of high-risk HPV types that are known to cause cervical cancer. A positive result indicates the presence of the virus, even before any cell changes occur.
• Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC): Examines cervical cells collected in a liquid medium to identify precancerous or cancerous changes. This method provides a clearer, more accurate cell sample than conventional Pap smears.
