Hsv2 and high risk hpv

Hello everyone, 

I have been diagnosed with both Hsv2 and high risk hpv and have read so much information on the Internet and have made myself very unwell with worry.

Has anyone had any experience of this and testing negative to HPV later on? I'm heartbroken, I had no idea of either and am so worried about cancer, having just had a little boy.

  • Hello terrifiedandsad, 

    Sometimes the information we read on the internet is far from accurate or reliable and will only make us feel more worried. It's important to bear this in mind and to stick to sources you can trust. Have a read of our page on HPV which I hope you will find helpful, informative and reassuring. 

    Congratulations on having had a little boy - talk about your worries to your doctor who will be happy I am sure to explain HPV to you and give you reassurance. Feel free also to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be very happy to answer any questions you might have on HPV and cancer. 

    You will hopefully hear from other members of our community who are or have been in a similar place and have had Hsv2 and high risk HPV. It helps to talk to others who've been there before and who can reassure you from their own personal experiences.

    Best wishes,

  • Hi terrified and sad I’m in a similar situation I have high risk hpv and cin 3 I’ve had loads of tests over past months as was post menapause bleeding change of bowel and lots of weight loss I’ve had my colposcopy on Tuesday and was told I need to be put under anaesthetic to have it removed so I reallly understand your worry hope feel free to chat if you want xx 

  • If it helps, I’ve had 2 positive hpv smears in a row with mildly abnormal cells found. Colposcopy and punch biopsy for both which came back clean. My next smear was hpv negative so my body had cleared it

  • Did you have a colpscopy after both smears? When would you have another smear? 

  • I had cin3 10 years ago and only last year i had hpv and hsv. Currently high risk and having problems at the moment been reffered to colposcopy nervous alot. What did you have to have removed ? 

  • High had my colposcopy and told too much to remove at that point and I needed to be put out to do it I have high grade hpv and cin 3 

  • How long have you had hpv for? X

  • This is the first time I haven’t had a sear test for 15 years as went into menapause at 28 and that caused atrophy so couldn’t have one done and my doctor at the time was old fashioned and wouldn’t put me on hrt but new new doc and lots discussed finally had hrt 18 months ago and all my problems started then lol gained in one hand and lost in another but at least I’m able to have my smear tests now I’ve been married for 38 years so we are assuming it’s laid dormant for a long time
