In simple words: A test has detected the presence of high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the female genital area. These HPV types are linked to a higher chance of developing certain cancers.

High risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive from female genital organs. This indicates the presence of high-risk HPV types in the female genital tract, which are associated with an increased risk of cervical and other anogenital cancers.It is important to distinguish this code from codes for anogenital warts or condyloma acuminatum (A63.0), which are clinical manifestations of HPV infection, not the direct laboratory finding of high-risk HPV DNA.

Example 1: A 30-year-old female undergoes routine cervical cancer screening and the HPV DNA test result is positive for high-risk HPV.Further evaluation with colposcopy and biopsy may be indicated., A 45-year-old female presents with abnormal vaginal bleeding.An HPV DNA test is performed, which is positive for high-risk HPV. Additional workup is performed to evaluate for cervical or other gynecologic malignancies., A 25-year-old female with a history of abnormal Pap smears undergoes an HPV DNA test, which is positive for high-risk HPV.The patient is monitored closely with regular Pap smears and/or colposcopy.

Documentation should include the type of HPV DNA test performed, the specific high-risk HPV types detected, the site of specimen collection (cervix, vagina, vulva), and any associated signs, symptoms, or relevant medical history. The rationale for ordering the test should also be documented.
