The sixth paragraph in this article appears to indicate that the HPV test only detects the presence of 2 strains responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. While this statement is indirectly referring to HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotypes, it should clarify that 12 other high-risk HPV genotypes are also detected with this HPV test.
