HPV positive but normal 3 year recall-now severe dyskaryosis

Hi

i had a smear 3 years ago, it came back HPV positive with low grade dyskaryosis, had a colposcopy, which she said was clear-no abnormal cells found, and put me back onto 3 year recall.

i have just had my latest smear results this morning which says HPV positive with high grade(severe) dyskaryosis

I wasn't aware at the time, only until reading it recently, but shouldn't I have been put on yearly recall when it was first found to be positive?

or can the colposcopy examiner see that there is actually no HPV there? Please help I'm confused and now very scared I feel like they have got it wrong and I should have been seen yearly, and now because I haven't, it's been able to get very serious. 
My colposcopy is booked for a week and half away, which I received the text for, before I even received my letter saying what was actually wrong, which I think is very wrong to do.

    hope you're well and things are better! 
     

    I had this as first time and so worried too! Just wanna ask

    how your smear went? And I thought hpv clears 1-2 years but

    why you still positive after 3 years? I'm sorry for asking as I will have my colposcopy on a week Monday and can't even tell my own husband. I worry so much I have to children and 1 & 1/2 weeks of wait seemed so long 

     

    thanks so much

    yes it seemed I'd had HPV for a number of years, I had a abnormal smear 3 and half years ago with HPV, and another but severely abnormal back in January, so it seems I have had HPV for a while, as my smear back in 2014 wouldn't have tested for HPV as they didn't back then, so who knows if I even had it then. 
    but they do say that you can have HPV for years of your body just doesn't rid of it.

     

    BUT, I have just had my 6 month test of cure smear after having the LLETZ treatment back in February, and I'm pleased to say that it came back clear with no HPV detected, so it seems the LLETZ treatment really works.

     

    so don't worry, they say that 9 out of 10 women who have treatment never have any more problems. 
    the treatment itself I personally found awful, but I have read on here a lot of women found it not that bad, so I think it's how good your threshold is! 
     

    hope you get on ok

    Thanks for your reply, it helps me a lot and im

    so pleased for you! It really made hope and be positive that 

    everything will be ok! 
     

    silly questions, having hpv doesn't infect anyone if you kiss

    your kids or share your glass of water? My husband smokes

    and I worry I have to tell him and prevent more damages.

    Everyday is a struggle and trying to be positive. A week

    on Monday seemed

    forever to wait.

     

     

    lastly, is LLETZ same as colposcopy?

     

    Thanks so much from the bottom
