Private HPV vaccine in London
At 117a Harley Street, Medical Express Clinic provides three separate, directly bookable HPV services for men and women: Gardasil 9 vaccination, 28-subtype HPV swab testing, and consultant-led genital wart removal.
Gardasil 9 is the nine-strain prescription vaccine protecting against high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 and wart-causing types 6 and 11, available from age 9 with no upper age limit.
The three-dose Gardasil 9 course over six months costs £325 for the 1st dose and £225 each for the 2nd and 3rd doses (£775 in total), with appointments available seven days a week (weekdays 10:00 to 17:30, weekends 10:00 to 13:30).
If you want to know which viral strains you currently carry, our £225 HPV swab tests for 28 individually typed HPV subtypes, adding automatic reflex mRNA analysis for high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45, with results in 2 to 3 working days.
If you have visible genital or anal warts, Consultant Gynaecologist Dr Hikmat Naoum provides single-visit removal by hyfrecation under local anaesthetic (£450 initial session, £150 follow-up if needed) on Fridays from 10:00 to 16:00.
Your appointment and results remain private to Medical Express Clinic and are never shared with your NHS GP unless you ask; book online below or call 0207 499 1991 if you would like help choosing the right appointment.

What is HPV?
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a family of closely related viruses passed through skin-to-skin sexual contact. High-risk strains (such as types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45) can cause cellular changes over time linked to cervical, anal, penile and throat cancers, whereas low-risk strains (most commonly types 6 and 11) cause benign genital warts.
Most people who pick up HPV have no symptoms at all, and the body's immune system often clears the infection naturally within a year or two. Because no tablet cures a viral HPV infection directly, medical care focuses on three practical steps: vaccinating against strains you may not have met yet, swab testing to check which subtypes are present, and physically removing visible warts when they appear.
HPV at a glance
- HPV swab testing, Gardasil 9 vaccination and wart removal are separate appointments with their own fees.
- A positive HPV swab shows which viral strains are present so your doctor can advise on monitoring; it is not a diagnosis of cancer.
- Gardasil 9 is a prescription vaccine suitable for men and women, even if you have already been sexually active.
HPV swab testing
Whether you want peace of mind with a new partner, a clearer breakdown than a standard NHS screen, or a check after a partner's positive result, our HPV swab provides individually typed results in 2–3 working days.
The laboratory screens for 28 individually typed HPV DNA subtypes across both high-risk and low-risk groups. Whenever high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33 or 45 are detected, the laboratory automatically performs reflex mRNA testing to check for active viral expression, helping your doctor advise whether closer surveillance or colposcopy referral is appropriate.
Sample collection is straightforward and tailored to you: a gentle cervical or vaginal swab for women, or a targeted swab from the relevant anatomical site or lesion for men.
What the swab includes
- Price: £225 (straightforward sample collection; a separate GP consultation is not included in this fee).
- Turnaround: 2–3 working days from a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
- Who can book: Men and women.
- Confidentiality: Results and visit details are not shared with your NHS GP or another third party unless you ask. Pseudonym registration and cash payment are available.
Understanding your swab report
No HPV detected: Reassuring confirmation that none of the 28 tested subtypes were found in your sample. Because new contact can introduce HPV in the future, many patients pair a negative screen with Gardasil 9 vaccination.
HPV subtype detected: Your report names the exact strain(s) identified. For high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45, the reflex mRNA result helps distinguish transient carriage from active viral expression so a doctor can advise on the right follow-up interval.
Gardasil 9 vaccination
Gardasil 9 is the nine-valent HPV vaccine used in the UK to protect against seven high-risk cancer-associated strains (types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58) and the two low-risk strains responsible for most genital warts (types 6 and 11). The NHS HPV vaccination programme uses Gardasil 9 to protect against HPV types linked to cervical cancer and other HPV-related conditions.
Vaccination schedule and prices
| Dose | Timing | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1st dose | Day 0 | £325 |
| 2nd dose | 2 months after 1st | £225 |
| 3rd dose | 6 months after 1st | £225 |
| Full course | 3 doses over 6 months | £775 total |
We vaccinate males and females from age 9 with no upper age limit. Appointments are available seven days a week: weekdays 10:00–17:30 and weekends 10:00–13:30.
Many adults, particularly men who left school before boys were included in the NHS programme, or women who received the older two-strain vaccine, choose private Gardasil 9 vaccination for broader protection. Even if you have previously tested positive for one HPV strain, the vaccine can still protect you against the other types in the nine-strain panel that you have not yet encountered.
Genital wart removal
Visible genital or anal warts are benign growths usually caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. When prescription creams fail to clear them or you want immediate physical removal in a single visit, consultant-led treatment is often the most direct solution.
At Medical Express Clinic, wart removal is carried out personally by Dr Hikmat Naoum, Consultant Gynaecologist, GMC 3047637, using precision hyfrecation under local anaesthetic. He treats both men and women.
Wart appointment price and availability
- Initial session: £450 (includes Dr Naoum's assessment and hyfrecation; £100 deposit when booked online)
- Follow-up session: £150 if a further session is clinically required for extensive or recurrent warts
- Clinic schedule: Fridays only, 10:00–16:00, with at least one day's advance booking
- Who we treat: Men and women with vulval, penile, scrotal, perianal or anal warts

What our patients say
“Quick, painless draw and 4-hour results”
“Had an appointment at 1:30 PM but got there early and the staff were happy to draw my blood earlier since there was availability. Quick and painless process with a professional phlebotomist. The turnaround time stated on the website for the test was 4 hours, and sure enough, I received my results super easy with no issues. Would recommend this service.”
“Heard, understood and reassured”
“The clinic is warm and welcoming. In my experience, every time I was there, I found myself heard and understood. My health issues have been tackled in the best of ways. Miss Arjeta is absolutely a master of blood tests, you will not feel anything. Dr Bakhtiar is knowledgeable and calm, I always feel reassured after speaking to him. I genuinely recommend this clinic.”
“Dr Bakhtiar was kind, wise and helpful”
“For what is a potentially terrifying experience of being screened for the first time, not only did this clinic make me feel very safe and calm but Dr. Bakhtiar was kind, wise and helpful. I found it to be a very good experience. Thank you so much.”
HPV vaccine and testing FAQs
Do I need testing, vaccination or wart removal?
Each appointment serves a different purpose: the £225 HPV swab shows which of 28 viral subtypes you currently carry, Gardasil 9 vaccination (from £325) protects against nine high- and low-risk strains you may not have encountered, and consultant hyfrecation (£450) removes visible genital or anal warts.
How much does HPV testing cost?
The HPV swab test costs £225, with results back in 2–3 working days. It screens for 28 individually typed HPV subtypes and automatically adds reflex mRNA analysis if high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33 or 45 are detected.
How much does Gardasil 9 cost?
The 1st dose of Gardasil 9 is £325, followed by the 2nd dose (£225 at two months) and the 3rd dose (£225 at six months), bringing the full three-dose course to £775 over six months.
Can men book HPV testing and vaccination?
Both our 28-type HPV swab test and the Gardasil 9 vaccine are available to men and women.
When can I book vaccination?
Gardasil 9 vaccination appointments run seven days a week at 117a Harley Street: weekdays 10:00–17:30 and weekends 10:00–13:30.
How do I book wart removal?
Initial wart removal with Consultant Gynaecologist Dr Hikmat Naoum is £450 (with a £100 online deposit), and follow-up sessions are £150 if required. Clinics run on Fridays only, 10:00–16:00, with at least one day's advance notice.
Is wart removal available the same day I enquire?
Consultant wart removal runs on Fridays by appointment, subject to capacity, with at least 1-day advance booking, so it is not a same-day walk-in service.
Are my results shared with my NHS GP?
Your visit details and test results are not shared with your NHS GP or another third party unless you ask us to. You may also register under a pseudonym and pay in cash if you prefer.
Does a positive HPV test mean I have cancer?
A positive HPV swab simply shows that one or more viral strains are present at the time of testing; it is not a cancer diagnosis. Most HPV infections clear naturally, and reflex mRNA testing on types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45 helps your doctor advise on sensible monitoring.
Do I need a GP consultation before the swab or vaccine?
A separate GP consultation is not required if you are ready to book your HPV swab (£225) or Gardasil 9 dose (£325) directly. If you want to discuss symptoms or clinical questions with a doctor first, you can book a £150 GP consultation.
Can I book dose 2 or 3 online?
Yes, if you had your first Gardasil 9 dose at Medical Express Clinic, select the £225 additional dose option online. If you started your course at another clinic, please call 0207 499 1991 so our team can verify your batch and schedule.
