Hello and thank you for posting,

I can appreciate it is confusing to be HPV-negative and have CIN2. 

CIN 2 is caused by HPV. There is no treatment for HPV, the body's immune system will get rid of the HPV but this can take up to 2 years. It is possible that when you were tested, although HPV had caused the cell changes, it wasn't picked up because your immune system had already got rid of it. It is best to clarify this with the team at the hospital if possible or perhaps speak with your GP as they will know your situation.

Waiting for biopsy results can be an anxious time, but it is important to know that abnormal cells are not the same as cervical cancer. If left untreated there is a risk that some abnormal cells will develop into cervical cancer in the future but this can take a long time, years.

I hope this helps a little and you can get more clarification about your situation. Please feel free to contact us if you need more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Jemma
