However, there are certain types of low-risk HPV can cause genital warts, which can appear several weeks and sometimes months after sexual contact. On rare occasions the virus can persist, especially the types of high risk HPV, and can cause precancerous lesions and cancer. among women, the Pap test is the most effective way to detect early signs of abnormal and precancerous cells on the cervix.

There is a test for HPV that can detect strains of high-risk HPV DNA in cells of the body. but this test is not included in the test of regular STI screening because it is not widely available. currently, the test is usually used only in rare circumstances, or when a doctor recommends or if the results of the Pap test a woman are abnormal. many parts of Canada do not have the test and because it can not be covered by your health insurance plan, you may have to pay $ 90 to get it done.
