Hpv + Yeast infection

Hi, i just recently was told i have HPV. I got a pap smear and i was told it was normal...but, they told me i tested positive for HPV... Would this mean i have genial warts? I also seem to get alot of yeast infections....would this be from the virus?

Agreed with Amanda on probiotics and eating a lot of yogurt... this really help not just getting rid of the current yeast infection but to prevent from any future yeast infections...

The recently found hpv in your system and the yeast issue are unrelated. Yeast is an overgrowth of fungus due to decreased levels of good bacteria in the body, primarily the stomach area. Start taking probiotics from the health food store and eat lots of yogurt : )

No, yeast infection is not associated with HPV...

which test told you that you are positive for HPV? if it is hpv dna digene test then it must have told you about the type i.e., low or high... the test tells you only about the active hpv... if it is low then you may have visible warts or subclinical warts (those are not visible to naked eye) in or outside vaginal area... and if your test resulted high risk then you may develop cervical cell dysplasia in future as it is not there for now at least on pap smear, you should be on regular pap tests from now on...
