A member asked:

If i have an autoimmune disease and hpv dose that mean most likely my hpv won't ever clear away on its own ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Possibly that may be the case. We do know patients with lupus have difficulty with hpv and cervical dysplasia. Talk to your gyn as you may need more frequent testing if you have had an abnormal pap smear.
