HPV and warts diagnosis and clearance
by flyhigh2008, May 24, 2008 12:15AM
I have two questions regarding hpv diagnosis :
1. I was diagnosed with hpv in October (both high and low risk) as well as low grade lesions from smear test. The smear test was normal 3 months later though I was still hpv +ve. 3 months after that I had lesions again in smear test and still hpv +ve for both low and high risk strains. Question : based on this history, is it likely that both my abnormal smear tests and hpv levels will persist, or may they still clear?
2. three months after my initial diagnosis, my doctor said I had a wart which he burnt off and sent for tests. The biopsy did not have hpv in it and so strictly speaking not a wart, but he said it is "wart like" - what does that mean?
Thanks in advance

2.) I would ask your doctor exactly what he meant by this, since I can not speak for him.
