Hpv Infection Goes Away??
Posted: 11-22-03 22:14pm

Ok I have been reading a lot about hpv and I am so confused. It was said that hpv can be harmless and some people show no symptoms and the infection just goes away on its' own. Now does this mean that it cannot be transmitted to a partner in the future, and how do u kno if it has gone away. Question

No it does not go away it is one of those std's that you will have for the rest of your life. Dont rip yourself apart because a majority of the people have this and dont even know it.

Get Checked Out

You already know that you have it, but make sure you get checked often because hpv is the cause of almost all cervical cancer and can kill you!

Unfortunately it doesn't go away and I have it. I had no signs and no symptoms except for bad pap tests. The only way to monitor the hpv virus it to have regular pap tests done or if genital warts start appearing make an appointment with your doctor.

I was so upset when I found out I had hpv but after doing reasearch and talking to others, I realized I am not alone. I know alot of women who have it and they continue to live a normal life. It has been 7 years since I found out I had it and my pap tests have all been coming back normal.

Posted: 01-29-04 11:22am

Hello im 22 and yes I have hpv when I first found out I thought I wasgonna die I was all alone I was still with my ex and he was the one who gave it to me . I would look at him and see these little bumps and he would say there nothing I didnt know that much I never really seen one but I trusted him a year later the doc. Found 2 on me I was so embarrised. I didnt know what to think I just broke up w/ him and now im married , and pregnent. I have alote of questions about this but everyone tells me diff. All I have to say is stay healthy ,dont smoke,take vitamins,and eat lots of green veggies. Cause no one really knows believe me.

Hpv Doesn't Go Away
Posted: 04-04-07 20:16pm

I'm almost 60 and have had abnormal pap tests since 2003 due to HPV. Each one has come back mild dysplasia. I'm getting concerned about the virus that doesn't go away and the odds about developing cervical cancer. I've had two laser surgeries but it has not gone away. Has anyone else had it for this long? I get a pap test every 4 months.

There is at least one product at Herpes.com that is sold for HPV that supposedly has good results. The website also has chat (maybe a forum) so perhaps you could find if it has worked for others.

Don't know about your other questions, just thought you might like to know of a product for relief.

You seem to have one of the bad strains. But don't worry about the cervical cancer as long as you keep it in check. The very worst case scenario for you could be having to have the cervix removed and that is no problem if you are 60 because you must be done with children..

Only removing the cervix and keeping the uterus in tact is generally done to keep the woman fertile. For a woman who has already gone through menopause and is done bearing children, they would do a hysterectomy.

Darkeyes1947: you've had mild dysplasia for 4 years. Mild dysplasia is not cancer. Since you are being monitored every 4 months, your risk of cervical cancer is quite low. Cervical cancer is also very, very treatable.

Keep up on your paps!!

I wonder if in her case the doctor will suggest a hysterectomy. For one mild displasya is not like serious but then if the persistent strain doesn't go away wiht a histerectomy she would not need to go every 4 months for life to a gyn, no more colpos, no more painful biopsies etc etc..just curious.

Well, a hysterectomy is major surgery and can cause it's own problems. It takes many weeks to recover from this surgery. It is very expensive and it doesn't 'cure' you of hpv.

I'm glad my hpv went away.. I had abnormal pap's for a year and half. But since last september they are now normal. They didn't had to do anything with me. It just went away on it's own alone. Smile

Technically, you still have HPV, but the dysplasia is what can heal on it's own =)

Many women will have HPV, they will have abnormal PAP tests, and the doctors may recommend 'watching and waiting' to see if the dysplasia heals on its own.

Even if the dysplasia does heal, you still have HPV.

yes i undertand that. What happens is that hpv dna integrates with the dna of the cells where the cells begin to grow normally with it. So yes technically you still have the hpv but you can say it's gone on it's own. Smile
