Normal pap but hpv hr positive. this is the second time within 1 year with same result. does it mean i have hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have HR HPV: It seems quite likely that you are very healthy and that your immune system has actively prevented the HPV strains in your cervix-vagina from triggering any changes in the cells of your cervical screenings (Pap tests)Chances are you'llcontinue to suppress the virus,remain an asymptomatic carrier; but unfortunately there are risks that in time, HPV may invade your cells,cause problems. Colposcopy?
