Hpv Positive advice

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help , I had a clear smear in November 2018 as 12 months before I had HPV only had one sexually active incident prior to this result.

In November 2018 I was negative, then Feb 2019 I had sex for the first time since I was tested I have had th same partner since then and still now so nearly 4years , I have recently had my smear and I'm hov positive is that just because it's made an appearance of isit possible my partner has passed this to me from previous relationships , please can you advise me I'm so scared and feel just awful . No abnormal cells and I'm scared if I have warts would this have shown on the smear test .

  • Hello Lorna30

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent cervical screening result showed that you have HPV again. We get lots of women posting here on the forum with the kinds of concerns and questions that you've mentioned in your post. 

    I'd recommend having a look at this information on the Jo's Trust website about HPV. Hopefully, that will offer you some reassurance about your situation but if you still have questions then do give their helpline a call so that you can speak to them about your concerns. 

    Best wishes,
