hello im 25 and i was told i was high risk for HPV at the age of 24 and i was very scared. my doctor told me i was high risk for HPV what does that mean? and i was sent to have a biopsy done to see if i had pre-cancerous cells. and it came back negative. and all she said was it must be inflammation from the warts virus.what does that mean? and she did nothing. she said it would go away on it on. and to come back in six months to get another pep. i went back and every thing was fine. and again i went back for another six months and nothing showed up. after a year had gone by I had moved so i switch doctors and had told the doctor about me being high risk HPV and she side she would check for HPV and if i dont here from her then im good,but if here from her then thats bad news. well weeks went by and i heard nothing and then months went by and i heard nothing. so my questions is did I have HPV or what?????
Yes you had an active hpv infection. The virus probably went dormant in your system which is why your doctor never called. FYI it's always a good idea to call them just to ask if they haven't contacted you within 2 or 3 weeks.
okay thanks but i feel really stupid calling and its been like six months. Do I still have it? is what i want to know cause in know they say it can go away on its on.
