Hi racla 

Hi completely understand your confusion. I’ve had my results back this morning and also had no abnormal cells but positive HPV. And my letter also didn’t explain much just like yours to go back in 12 months for my smear. I’m goin out of my mind with worry have you had any updates lovely. 

Thanks. Chelsea x

Hi Girls. My first smear to.I'm the exact same. No abnormal cells but I've got HPV and I need to book another smear in a year's time. Have any of your had any updates? 

Hi Charlotte. Mine said there's nothing to worry about as long as no cells were detected then off I went :) all though  3 days after I went to the GP it must og sped up my refearal to the gyno I've been waiting on for over 6 months

I had a  positive HPV result in March  2020 and just had my second positive HPV result. Letter arrived this monring. I am 59 and won't deny a bit concerned. I am waiting for a nurse to ring me back . Apparently if I  get a third HPV positive result then I will get treatment . What, I do not know. I am just sitting here in tears. 

I have just had a positive hpv result aswell. Its worrying me so much. Can anyone recommend anything to do to help as I'm going out of my mind with worry. Keep us updated with what happens charlotteholly 10. Hope u get the news u want. Its so scary. 

Hi,

I know how you feel, i found out i got a hpv positive result last march, and just found out im still hpv positive. I have to have another one next year and if still positive need a colposcopy.

Have you got any cell changes? I haven't at the moment but it's horrible knowing i could have next year.

Happy to chat if you have any worries or need anyone to talk to

It could be a urine infection especially if you are weeing a lot. To be honest I was so upset when I first found out last year, I felt dirty and ashamed but then I was trying to look on the positive side and think at least it was being monitored and there were no abnormal cells. It is so common. I just tried not to worry and didn't really change anything. I've still got it a year later I'm just hoping this time next year it's gone as I read it can take a couple of years to clear itself. Have you changed anything? X

Fingers crossed it is but I can't help thinking the worse and giggling my symptoms which I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I feel so upset aswell. Its so hard to try and relax and carry on. I'm glad we can talk about the same things. I hope it clears for u. I read it can take up to two years to clear aswell. I haven't changed anything apart from taking vitamins xx 

Yeah I know I was like that last year as I think it's easier to think the worst than it is to thing of the positives. It's so common and they didn't even used to test for HPV so we wouldn't even know we had it at the moment as our cells are still normal so I guess it's good they now test for it. I hope it clears for you too I'm Gona start taking vitamins or probiotics too xx
