A member asked:
I would like to do a throat and mouth swab test for the hpv virus. one clinic offers me an hpv urine test. is hpv present in the whole body, so this test would also be fine, or do i have to do a targeted search?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The virus usually infects cavities or surfaces like penis, vagina throat etc and not the whole body. Your doc will order the appropriate area/areas test
