How is HPV diagnosed in Singapore?
HPV is diagnosed through HPV testing.
While HPV testing is crucial for anyone, it is highly recommended for males who engage in same-sex intercourse. This is because such individuals are more likely to contract high-risk HPV even without knowing.
High-risk strains of HPV often do not display any visible or known symptoms.
The HPV screening test boasts an efficacy rate of more than 90%. HPV testing can be carried out on numerous parts of the body, ranging from the penis, vagina, anal as well as throat.
