A member asked:

Is an endometrial biopsy the same as a biopsy for hpv virus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Endometrial biopsy samples tissue from the endometrium, i always do a hysteroscopy when I do that, hpv is diagnosed on pap smear or hpv culture, or biopsy of a vulvar wart will show hpv.
