NHS guidelines are HPV positive then recall in one year for a further test. It is expected that HPV is cleared within 2 years by your immune system. If you still have HPV after 2 years you will be invited for a colposcopy. The colposcopy appointment will come separately after you have received your smear test results. The  colposcopy will check your cervix and the doctor may take a sample of cells for biopsy or  you may go back on a 12 month smear test recall. IF you have been HPV positive for 2 years you will definitely be referred to  colposcopy and the appointment will be sent to you from your local colposcopy department which is usually at your local hospital

Hi Karen, thanks for the reply and information. I was never invited anywhere. I'm awaiting for my 3rd smear to come back for my HPV cervical cancer, this will be 3 yrs in a row, no break, no visits anywhere and no nhs letters for one of those Biopsies or a Colposcopy... nothing.Even thw nursing staff doing my smear did not beleive that I can have my smear up to 3 months prior to my anniversary date... she would not beleive me. And rhat made me feel, unheard,  like I'm just not visible, that they don't update their own training and I'm nervous. I've now Bowel screening that wanna peice of me along with breast screaming...but I can only deal with one at a time. I've had p.i.d, endometriosis to bad stages with PCOS & Fibrois and 2 abrasions which put me straight into menopause 2 yrs ago.. and no hot or support about that either. ..your have to fight for everything at this surgwry or ai jave to seem to be ans I don't know why. My memory's also being affected, I've tempers ans everything is bla.ed on my Fibro! Everything!  Help I have literally no one. I ask the gp and they tell me nooo toy don't need to go anywhere!
