Following the ASCCP principle of “similar management for similar risk”, women with an immediate risk for CIN3+ disease above 4% should be referred to colposcopy. Women 25 years and older with HPV 31 and normal cytology had an immediate risk for CIN3+ of 7.5%, similarly to HPV 16, with a risk of 8.1%.2
BD OnclaRITY™ HPV Assay is the only FDA-approved HPV test that individually identifies HPV 31.
HPV 31 poses a higher risk for cervical precancer as compared to HPV 18.
The BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay with extended genotyping allows for a more precise, accurate way to measure a woman’s risk for developing cervical precancer and cancer compared to an assay with partial genotyping.1,2,3
HPV 31 identification matters. Extended genotyping is critical.

Accurate risk-stratification
Most HPV tests report multiple genotypes in a single result, which can both artificially mask the true risk of CIN3+ disease - especially due to HPV 31 - and lead to a 1-year follow-up recommendation instead of an immediate colposcopy referral.5,6
Appropriate and timely clinical management
A systematic review of 16 studies shows that HPV 31 poses a similar or higher risk for CIN3+ disease as compared to HPV 18, above the ASCCP’s 4% immediate risk of CIN3+ threshold for referral to colposcopy.4,5
