HPV Positive

3 years ago I had an abnormal smear test and tested positive for HPV. I had a colposcopy and also lletz treatment and given the all clear. 2 weeks ago I had my latest smear test, my cells cane back normal but I tested for HPV again, I am due to have another smear test in 12 months time, my concern is, will the HPV that I have become cancerous within 12 months ??

 

  • HI Franciz45,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I should imagine the doctors wouldn't have suggested a return after 12 months if they were concerned about this possibility, so try to trust what they have recommended if you can.
