HPV Support Group

Two years ago I got tested for HPV and tested negative, so I had the HPV Vaccine. The following year I tested positive for High Risk HPV with a normal PAP, 6 months later I had another exam and this time it was negative for HPV. 6 months later I had another test and it again tested positive for high risk HPV and the PAP was normal. I was given two options, either wait another 6 months and get tested again or have a Colposcopy now. What should I do?

Personally I say go for the colposcopy. It is a painless procedure that just means examining the cervix with a powerful magnifying glass. What is the point in waiting and giving yourself six months of stress?

Take care and remember, we are here to support you no matter what you decide to do.
