once it is gone, is it gone for good

Hi, I was diagnosed with HPV with severe cervical dysplasia when I was 19 (I am now 34).  My gyno followed the usual treatment (I believe it was laser surgery, I can't remember what it was called).  He had a really hard time getting rid of it and I was sent to an oncologist/gynocologist where I was treated with laser surgeries, acid washes, cone biopsy until finally at 26 I had a normal pap.  I have been relatively normal since.  Last year the pap came back showing dysplasia but no HPV, the pap was repeated and just showed inflammation.  I am currently waiting for the results of this years pap.  It has been 8 years since my last problem.  Can HPV resurface after this much time clean?

not all dysplasia is caused by HPV..if they did the HPV test along with the pap and it was negative then no hpv and just darn dysplasia!

HPV i believe can come back. But it gets ride of itself on its own.
