A member asked:
Would a colposcopy result say if hpv infection was found especially on biopsies?

Probably yes. But ask the doctor! Nobody else can know the true answer.

Colposcopic biopsies might note changes consistent with HPV infection, but not necessarily. HPV is detected via pap smear swabs. Biopsies with colposcopy are screening for precancerous or cancerous changes of the cervix, not HPV infection. If such changes are detected you may reliably infer that an HPV infection is or has been present.
