Don't worry.: Hpv is very common. Most people are carriers of hpv. Some subtypes can cause dysplasia or cancer of the cervix. But, not all. Go ahead and get your routine annual gynecologic exam along with pap smear. Best to have protected sex with condoms (if you are sexually active).

Nothing for U to do: There is no specific treatment or cure, unless you have the wart strains which can be laser treated.This just means you are at higher risk than the uninfected population of developing cervical cancer in the next several decades, but may never. Regular pap smears can detect early changes when they can be cured.
