A member asked:
Is there a test to find out specifically what type of hpv a person has? so you know if your high risk of cancer, or if you have nothing to worry about
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are cultures and urine tests that will determine if an individual is carrying a high risk strain of HPV. The most common strains are Type 6 and 11 which cause the common wart.
