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 JoCol, I'm 53 and in exactly the same position as you.  Tested positive in April 2020 for HPV/no abnormal cells and expected or should I say hoped for a negative result this year.  Just got my results letter today and I've tested positive again.  I'm really worried.  May I ask what the nurse said to you?  

Hey Everyone!

Ive recently had my first smear and had the results on Friday (my 25th birthday) which are HPV positive with no abnormalities.

This forum really has helped calm some concerns and almost as if there is a bit of a hope that you can clear it.

Ive been with my husband for over 4 years and he was not by any means sexually active with any previous girlfriends. I on the other hand was but always careful - or so i thought.

I have been taking antibiotics on and off since Christmas, so its interesting to read that so many of you have experienced positive results shortly after any form of antibiotics have been taken.

I take daily medication for a condition called IIH - Intracranial Hypertension and have recently come off the pill which i was on for about 12 years.

Im overweight, im active in work but any down time i do enjoy just chilling.

Has anyone massively changed their lifestyle or eating habits? If so what have you done?

And has anyone had any luck taking probiotics and multivitamins? If so, what ones have you taken?

Sorry for the questions, but i really do feel like im not getting any answers through the GP and when im looking on google more or less every answer is to do with the big C.

Im anxious, worried, scared to be honest. Ive never known anyone that has disclosed they had HPV, and i feel so alone. My husband is here for me, and we had started trying to conceive but i almost feel like we cant until im able to clear this.

Hello,

JoCol, I wanted to ask you, are your cells still normal in your last results? I am 44 years old and just had my first results that turned HPV positive / no abnormal cells, . In the past I had smear test every year  for years through a private gynecologist and cells were always normal, but the test for the virus wasnt done, only citology.I try to keep positive as cells are normal and it might take your body a couple of years to get rid of it.I think also that as I have gone through a lot the last months my immunology system probably was much weaker. 

We are all in same boat. Let's keep positive. 

Best wishes

hi I've recieved a letter stating the exact same today so I'll with worry 

is yours still pos hun worried sick 

I'm worried sick had pos hpv but no abnormal cells 

I’m sorry I don’t seem to have been able to reassure you. What is it you’re actually worried about when you don’t have any abnormal cells? 

the fact that I've got the infection just thinkin I'm goin to die 

so you don't think I need to worry only if I ever get abnormal cells 

You have a virus which almost every person in the world who’s ever been sexually active has. It just so happens you know you have it because you’ve had a positive test. Most people have no idea they have it. Would you worry if you had the virus which causes cold sores? Even having abnormal cells is something which can be easily treated to get them removed. But why worry about something which might never happen?
