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,

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
