how soon

How soon can a person develop severe dysplasia after exposure to HPV?  Is it years or months or what.  Has anyone had it develop within one year?

the answer to that is unknown at present..unless u've been with one partner for a long time and had no others....there are more verifiable stats on the HPV virus clearing the body in 6-12 mos.according to the docs under Experts forum.

I think anything is possible.  I've read in many places that it takes many years.  But I had CIN II displaysia about 10 years ago.  And yes, it happened rather quickly, in under two years.  And I know that for a fact because I was very young and know exactly when and who I got the hpv from.  So, if you have hpv or some worries about that, I think that it is a very good idea to get a pap every four months if your hpv test is positive and/or you have an abnormal pap.  I don't know your situation so I don't want to imply anything.  That is just my advice from my experience, because it can get bad pretty quickly, and sometimes waiting 6 months between paps is too long.  A lot can change in that time.

Take care
