HPV Positive and Borderline changes

Hi All

I received my letter yesterday with my smear results and I'm HPV Positive and have borderline cell changes.

I am waiting for an appointment for a colposcopy.

I'm as scared as hell!!

I noticed the posts on the forum are from young people. I am 58 and haven't had a partner for 9 years. Does anyone know if age makes a difference?

I've tried googling and it's just worried me even more.

Thanks

    So I had my colposcopy last week.

    All's well. I was only in there 15 mins and the actual examination didn't take long at all.

    I was told that I must have another smear test next year.

    I am so relieved!!

    This has so reassured me. I've had the same letter through (HPV and borderline changes) and waiting for my colposcopy. I am so scared of what this means I've not been able to sleep - I wondered if I'd done anything wrong (which I know is unreasonable). I spoke to my GP and he seemed very relaxed by the whole thing. I'm so glad I read this. Thank you.
