Specializes in Family Medicine

Yeast : Those symptoms sound like a common yeast infection which is unrelated to hpv. Over the counter treatments usually work well. If they are not effective then see your gyn. Woman with hpv should have regular pap smears because of increased risk of cervical cancer. Good health.
