A member asked:

Positive hpv, 1 year ago was negative, could i have contracted long time ago and been detected until now, or did i contracted it within last year?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New acquisition: Once the HPV test shows antibodies to the virus it should remain so for your lifetime. You may not show any visible sites, but that's how the tests give us a timeline.There is always a possibility that an earlier test was falsely negative
