Introduction
In the HC2 test, the positive threshold is typically set at 1 RLU/CO. A test result equal to or greater than 1 RLU/CO is generally considered positive, indicating the presence of a high-risk HPV infection. Conversely, a test result below 1 RLU/CO is generally considered negative, indicating no detectable high-risk HPV infection.

Under normal circumstances, HC2 refers to the second-generation hybrid capture test for HPV-DNA, with a normal reference range of less than 1 RLU/CO. The detailed analysis is as follows:

In the HC2 test, the positive threshold is typically set at 1 RLU/CO. If the test result is greater than or equal to 1 RLU/CO, it is generally considered positive, indicating the presence of a high-risk HPV infection. Conversely, if the result is below 1 RLU/CO, it is usually considered negative, meaning no high-risk HPV infection was detected. However, it should be noted that the HC2 test can only detect the presence of high-risk HPV types but cannot identify the specific type of HPV involved. Therefore, even if the HC2 test is positive, it does not specify exactly which high-risk HPV type is causing the infection.

If an HC2 test is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
