Cervical Cytology and HPV Testing

Anogenital HPV Types¹

March 2010

The HPV types that are associated with cervical cancer are called high-risk viral types. There are numerous high-risk viral types but the most common are 16, 18, and what I like to call the odd thirties - 31, 33, 35 and 39. There are a couple of high-risk viral types that are also possible and then a number of HPV viral types that are low-risk and have no significant risk of developing cervical neoplasia.
