Hi racla, I recently had my first smear test also around 2-3 weeks ago and it came back hpv positive no abonor

al cells which I had no idea what it was at the time and when I googled it I started to panic  as I haven't slept with anyone in 2 years and me and my boyfriend haven't slept with each other yet as we want to wait till we get married, I called my doctors straight away the next day and the nurse reassured me that it's very common and it's like having a cold your immune system has to fight it off but I have made a private appointment with a gynaecologist to double check everything and have a closer look and also just to talk about what it actually is and how I can get rid of it, I read that you took multivitamins and probiotics could I ask which ones you brought please as I would like to get them so I'm hoping in the next 6-12 months when I go for my next smear it will have gone by then x

Hi Jen!

oh I'm so sorry to hear you are in the same situation I was. The best thing I could tell you is try not to worry. The fact that you have no abnormal cells means that there is literally no chance of cancer developing - I also was worried that it would develop in the year waiting for the next smeer but I have learnt that it is a slow progressing cancer so that is also a very low chance. 
 

I also learnt that the majority of my family and friends have had abnormal cells at some point which surprised me. Also HPV has only recently been something that they test for which is why I think I'd never heard of it. I read that 98% of cervical cancers originate from HPV so it's fairly likely that anyone who had abnormal cells also had HPV they just didn't test for it.  
 

I was not well at the time I had been on antibiotics for nearly 3 months so my immune system was obviously shot. I then just focused on eating better, exercising more, trying to be less stressed in general as I am a worrier! With vitamins and probiotics I went for bioglan for women probiotics and centrum for women multivitamins. I think the probiotics really helped as I haven't had a cold since still to this day and I used to fall ill very often. I think anything you can do to assist your immune system will help your body fight off the virus. 
 

I hope you feel better about it all soon. You will end up not thinking about it so often just initially it's very scary as it's all totally new information that you just don't hear about ! I felt like I had a STI and felt dirty but 4/5 people in their lifetime will get it and the majority will never know they have it so it is practically a part of life.  

Thank you for getting back to me hun I'm going to definitely order some of those then thank you and going to try not to worry too much about it but Yhh hpv is something I've never heard of before I did feel dirty and ashamed but now that I I've read that it's quite common I do feel a little bit better about it hopefully on my next smear it will be gone xx

Hi everyone, had my 2nd smear today the nurse said I'll get my results within 2-3 weeks I'm just hoping & praying that I get the all clear my previous smear was hpv no abnormal cells which was good but hopefully I get the all clear I'm just trying my hardest to stay positive x

HPV positive result but no abnormal cells what does this mean so worried

Hi Jadiie

HPV is a virus which most people who are sexually active will have come into contact with as it’s spread by skin skin genital contact. It can cause changes to the cells of the cervix, which make them abnormal, but that hasn’t happened in your case which is great news! 

You will be seen in a year,usually, for another smear test to see if the HPV is still present. Careful monitoring like this ensures that if there are any changes to the cells in the future they are picked up quickly. You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Thankyou very much for your help
