The cost of HPV-DNA test is around$300-500, depending on the level of the hospital and the hospital’s fee schedule. This test is not particularly expensive, but it is the most common and direct way to diagnose cervical cancer. You should not have sexual intercourse within 24 hours before the test as it may affect the test results. If the test result shows high risk, then the possibility of cervical cancer is very high and further liquid-based cytology test is needed to determine whether cervical cancer is present.
