I have high-risk hpv, but am negative for hpv-16 and hpv-18. what are the chances this will clear up?

Monitor: All strains of HPV have the ability to persist in your body for life.The primary infection usually clears in immune competent people but the strain can reactivate in the future. Strains 16/18 are not the only strains linked to future complications. Regular surveillance visits will be necessary to pick these up early in a treatable stage if they occur.

High: You require survillance pap smear. But they could clear up. Presence of persistent ASCUS will be an indication for biopsy. Your Gynecologist will discuss the monitoring plan with you
