    HPV is not a too serious infection.

    The immune system can eradicate it - often this takes a long time. 

    Yes you can transmit it to sexual partners - so condoms would be good.

    Make sure you go to all your smear tests in the future.

      Colposcopy - definately go to it. They’re just going to thoroughly check your entire cervix.

      No you dont have precancer - you just have the infection. 

      The immune system can fight off HPV, but it takes a long time.

    Hi Gina

    Sounds like you’re smear has come back abnormal. The colopscopy will say how abnormal. It might be minor or more high grade they’ll take a look and decide, maybe take a sample. This doesn’t mean you have pre cancerous cells. 

    Perhaps talk to the doctor about the effects on your sex like with the hpv diagnosis at the same time.

    Good luck

    Ben1994 is right. Take a friend with you for support but I’m sure it will be okay and just have a list of any questions that you want to know the answers too. I had high grade abnormality earlier this year and found they were very ambiguous with their explanation of things and I wish I’d asked a lot more questions at the time!

      I just phoned and they have brought my appointment forward to tomorrow so hopefully I can get some answers on hpv I don't even have cancer in my brain I'd prefer cancer cells than hpv I feel ashamed of myself and dirty it's saying most woman will get or have had it but then others are saying it's a life long thing etc etc I'm feeling very confused and upset I started to feel like I was ready to meet someone and hopefully have a relationship but now this how can I ever go into a relationship knowing I have this 😢
