HPV Positive & Abnormal Cells

Hi all,

I had a cervical screening back in August and the results came back a few weeks ago confirming I am HPV positive (was so unaware of this) and that I also have low-grade dyskaryosis.

I have been waiting almost 3 weeks for a referal to have a colposcopy and I just phoned the department and they said I should hopefully hear from them before the 8th November which is still a very long time.

I am just worried that the cells may get worse over this waiting period?

Has anyone been in the same situation?

  • Hi Zenem and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in this situation will share their advice and experiences with you soon but whilst you wait I just wanted to share some information we have about cervical screening results.

    I hope this helps put your mind at ease but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Fingers crossed you won't be waiting too much longer for your colposcopy.

    Kind regards,
