A member asked:
How often should i get my pap test as i have hpv16? every 3 months or 6? will lesions form so quickly between tests?? and what triggers them to form?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yearly: Unless your doctor advised otherwise, based on the results of the latest PAP smear, getting tested once a year is sufficient. Generally it takes a few years for the lesions to turn into cancer.

Got CIN1 of HPV16. Dr wants to do laser to remove then will do Pap tests after 3months. Also an individual plan for me. Is he right? Is this the best?
Had Pap smear, results where negative for HPV16 ,18& 31 among others. However insufficient cells could not get reading for abnormalities. Cancer risk?
I want to know if HPV 16 will inevitably turn with time into cancer. I had a LEEP a year ago with clear margins and 2 clear paps but i'm still HPV16+.
