Human Papillomavirus: Why Early Detection Matters

Bioclinic Processes Your Samples Quickly and Securely

At Bioclinic Clinical Laboratory in Limón Centro and Puerto Viejo, we offer in-house sample processing to detect the human papillomavirus, an essential tool for early diagnosis. HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide, often affecting men and women without showing visible symptoms.

Why is early detection important?

Detecting HPV early allows for timely medical decisions and helps prevent complications. Women can undergo tests like the Pap smear and the HPV test to detect abnormal cellular changes in the cervix. These tests are essential from age 30 or if there’s a family history of related cancers.
