The present invention comprises, without limitation, systems, methods, and compositions for the detection, identification, and quantification, down to the single copy level, of human papillomavirus (HPV) in biological samples, including but not limited to, mammalian body fluids and cervix scrapings, for purposes of detection, treatment and/or management of cancer and dysplasia.

Systems, methods, and compositions for detection of human papilloma virus in biological samples

Disclosed is a method for determining the number of copies of a target nucleic acid relative to the number of copies of a reference nucleic acid in a biological specimen. The method includes amplifying the target nucleic acid, measuring the amplification of the target nucleic acid, amplifying the reference nucleic acid, measuring the amplification of the target nucleic acid, and comparing the amplification of the target nucleic acid sequence to the amplification of the reference nucleic acid sequence.
