Looks like this is commercially available? Anyone had this done? Maybe even a regular doc can order this instead of a teaching institution doc?

(for those who don't know, PCR is the most sensitive hpv test, detecting hpv at viral loads far lower than Digene hc2)
Sounds like a great test. Do you know whether a doctor would just ship a sample directly to the company for evaluation (maybe FedEx)? Also -- it says it will test "tissue" and a pap sample. That probably means you could have your biopsy evaluated, which is very different from the general scrapings from the cervix that are the pap sample.
