Hpv positive 3 years no cell changes

I have been HPV positive for the past 2 years with yearly check ups and no abnormal cells. This year I was told I was still HPV positive for my third year but there was no abnormal cell changes but due to it causing this they have invited me to a colposcopy. 

Anyone been in the same situation? I am so nervous and I'm scared as there is no cell changes but why am I still hpv positive?

    I hope these HPV FAQs will help put your mind at ease about testing positive for HPV again but if you'd like to have a chat about this with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    If you haven't had a colposcopy before you can find out more about this procedure just here.
