Hello my name is mbjbma. I had high risk hpv 5 years ago and different doctors either tell me it is gone or it s format. The past 2 years my hpv test have been negative and i have always had a normal pap. Does that mean my hpv is gone if it has been negative? Thanks
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. If HPV test has been negative, most probably you have spontaneously resolved the HPV infection, which is a common occurrence. Association of high risk HPV with abnormal Pap is significant. Recurrence is common and I suggest you get regular screening done just to be on the safer side. Intervals between screening can be discussed with your gynecologist who is seeing you right now. Thanks.
