I had a HPV test last year which came back negative after 2 years of positive tests. I’ve just had one this month and it’s positive again! I haven’t had a new partner in this time and I’m very concerned the test last year was a false negative. This seems very likely as I’m positive again this year. If last year had been positive I understand I would have been sent for a colposcopy but because I’ve now had a negative in between positives they have just recommended another test in a year. This just doesn’t seem right to me as clearly my body hasn’t cleared the hpv from 3 years ago and I may have had it even longer as I was positive on my first test.

Has anyone experienced this? I’m trying to follow up with my doctor but they don’t seem to know much about it and have said they’ll have to research it and get back to me…
