I went for screening a few weeks ago (first time, I'm 24) and received a letter today to let me know that an appointment has been made for me for a colposcopy. I am HPV positive and have low-grade dyskaryosis. I have read as much information as I can find and feel that I pretty much know what to expect during the appointment and possible further appointments/treatment.

I have a few questions though:

1) does the fact that I've been identified as having HPV mean that I have a high risk form?

2) does anyone have any positive stories - did you manage to fight off the virus? As I assume everyone does, I hope I am in the 90% bracket who can fight off the HPV but of course I am worried that I won't be and what this could possibly mean for my future and any future partners.

Thank you x
