Human papillomavirus (HPV), the predominant viral infection affecting the anogenital tract, is closely linked to the development of intraepithelial neoplasia and malignancies in the cervix and other anal regions. Currently, 15 high-risk HPVs (HR-HPVs) and 3 potential HR-HPV types have been recognized as contributors to cervical cancer. Consequently, it is imperative to conduct HR-HPV screening using suitable tests in order to identify precancerous lesions and prevent the development of cancer.
