A member asked:

If you have a clear pap smear and tested positive for hpv 16 and 18, does taking the hpv vaccination assist your body in fighting off the existing virus and prevent it from returning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Agree with Dr. F: Take the HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other HPV agents. Keep getting PAPs , as advised by your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
