Regular paps: Having hvp on the cervix is very common. The best way to manage this is regular pap smears, and if the pap smear is abnormal to have a colposcopy to check for abnormal cells on the cervix, and treat if needed. Removal of the cervix is not necessary. Many women with hpv deliver vaginally and kids rarely get infected. Speak with your doctor about your concerns.

HPV: Nope. Not in any way. First get the hpv vaccine. Second, allow your gyn doctor to do the right treatment of the tissue to diminish the skin changes that are dangerous. Third get to a support group and learn with other women that this is not a death sentence. And four, plan a big and loving family. You are going to be a great mother.
