Hi does anyone no if HPV turns into cervical cancer? Iv recently been told I have hpv. They dont actually give you anything for it.im bit worried as been diagnosed with breast cancer in September.
hiya i have HPV myself depends on the grade of HPV it could but it takes 10-30 if it does . u will have a check up every year from now as i go for these i actually have a appointment tommorow .
u will be okay .
HPV is a virus there is no cure for that unfortuantly
Hi I've also just been diagnosed HPV positive and waiting for a month to get my colposcopy..even tho my previous tests came back as normal and I'm attending gynecologist check ups every few years the latest one showed I'm positive and got low grade dyskaryosis..but I've heard of quite a few cases when it just cleared away by itself x

I'm feeling a little anxious about this too I've also just received my smear results with positive hpv but normal cells I had my first smear 3 years ago and it was normal so I was totally shocked when this one came I don't no much about it but I've just scared myself by google
I’ve just seen this post although I replied to your other one. Please try not to google too much if you can help it..it will lead you down rabbit holes of misinformation and fear, and worst case scenarios. The best advice I can give is to rely on reputable sources of information only, like this site or Jo’s Cervical Trust forum. If you do have any questions I’m happy to help with anything I can based on having been through cervical cancer twice now and having learned a lot along the way! xx
Thankyou so much for replying to me I'm so sorry that you have been through that you are so brave
Yeah I'm just so new to this like my first ever smear was normal no problems and then the second one normal but with hpv it's just so worrying that you literally don't know what's going to happen like I no people have said I will more then likely clear on it's own but what if it doesn't what then I just feel so scared
The important thing to remember is that in all likelihood absolutely nothing will ever happen! You cannot “cure” HPV, but if your immune system is healthy you can clear it/make it go dormant so it doesn’t cause any issues. I know it must be an anxious time for you, knowing you have the virus, but screening will pick up any changes early and there is very effective treatment for abnormal cells. It’s important to remember also that abnormal cells are not cancer and do not mean you will ever get cancer.
Please don’t spend your life being scared and worried...I don’t! I live a very happy and fulfilled life and never give HPV a second thought. Hopefully you will be able to come to terms with the news and be able to do the same. xx
No that makes sense and thankyou for having the time to reply to me it's just when you don't no much about something and then u end up with it it's like what I feel less of a woman I no that sounds silly but I do plus me and my partner have been trying for a baby no I feel like should I both I don't no.. since finding out I have completely lost my appetite and I love food!! Ha
I just don't no how to focus and carry on I mean my cells are normal so that's reasuring but it's waiting a year I just can't seem to get round that it's not knowing
Well, like I’ve said, almost every sexually active person will have HPV at some time or another and millions of people do not have it create any problems for them, ever. So, don’t let it make you feel less like a woman at all-would your partner feel less of a man? And having HPV absolutely does not mean you cannot try for a baby...otherwise there would never be any babies born in the world!
It hasn’t caused you to have any cell changes, so if I were you I wouldn’t focus on it at all and just carry on with your life- that’s what I do, even after cancer. Otherwise I wouldn’t really be able to enjoy my life, and I want to! Cell changes are typically very slow to happen, so it’s perfectly ok to wait a year before another test. xxx
Absolutely it does not mean that your partner has cheated. Testing for HPV is a relatively new part of screening, and if HPV is identified, the sample is checkef for abnormal cells.
You will never know when you picked up HPV or from whom, but you could have had it for years and just not known you did if you have had sexual activity with anyone before your current partner, if the virus is dormant in your system it will test negative on a test, but if the virus is active (maybe your immune system is a little low) it will test positive. It’s extremely common but does not mean someone in a relationship has been unfaithful.
