I had my first smear 3 years ago which came back positive for HPV. I went back 12 month later for a second smear and I remained HPV positive. They advised me to come back in a further 12 months for another smear as it can take two years for your body to get rid of. I had my third smear last month and I am still HPV positive. They have said I will be referred to gynaecology for them to have a look and maybe remove the cells. What they didn’t tell me and which I found out on my NHS app (checking to see if I have an appointment yet) was that I have high risk HPV. I’m 26 soon to be 27. I’m extremely worried about treatment options, whether I can still have a healthy pregnancy afterwards, will it come back, will my parter be HPV positive and give me HPV back again, if they are high risk cells and I get them removed am I still high risk of cervical cancer, I’ve been with my partner for 4 years and if he is also a carrier of it, is he just passing it be back when we have sex and therefore I’ve had it for 4 years (a year before I even had my first smear). I just have so many questions and I am just so worried.
