Hi everyone just a few quick questions 

I have had a letter from doctors saying I am HPV positive 16/18 

What does this mean?

If I have HPV do I have CIN 1?

Will I develop abnormal cells? 

How long wud u wait to be checked again? 

I have Sharp pains shooting upwards towards my belly button after weeing can this be a link to this virus? 

Thank you 

  • Hi Nicbic,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. While I'm unable to answer your questions, there is some information on our website about HPV here which may be helpful.

    The best thing is always to speak to your doctor if you have any concerns. However if you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
