Im 31, no children and recently  had my results from my smear test, and i am HPV postive with normal cells. Didn't really know much about hpv other than it can course cervical cancer. Obviously ended up doing lots of google research probably not the best idea. And it suddenly dawned on me that i also have hsv 2 (herpes) i was diagnosed 6 years ago after an ex partner was unfaithful. I don't have many outbreaks so i had forgotten about it to be honest. Been with my current partner 4 years so not sure when i have picked hpv up.  I have read two articles that state that having hpv and hsv2 makes you 3 times more likely to develop invasive cervical cancer. I have spent the last few days crying all day as I can't stop thinking about it. I don't inow what to do or how true it is, if i should be worried :(

    I caught genital warts and Herpes 1 from his cold sore on his mouth through oral sex and also HPV all from one partner I had in my twenties. How naive I was then. It took 10 years to get rid of these genital warts, non stop going to the GUM clinic to get them frozen off. I think I get a herpes spot near my anus area and put Zovirax on, it always comes when I’m stressed, I had a Leep procedure in my twenties. Then 30 years clear results and now I’m HPV positive with low grade changes. Had another leep but still HPV positive with low grade changes so the Leep didn’t work, so I just give up now. To be honest psychologically it’s put me off sex for life because it’s caused me so many problems. I shouldn’t feel like this but that’s how I feel :(
