The hpv you have is the kind that can lead to cervical cancer. It is called high risk hpv. A lesser hpv is the kind that causes warts. You can have more than one kind of hpv.
Pap smears show cell changes, that can be biopsied and surgically removed.
Your body can rid itself of hpv. Up to 85% of the sexually active population has had hpv. Some people never develop symptoms, like dysplasia, or cervical abnormalities.
Don't smoke. Take vitamins and eat right.
Good luck!
Ps. As far as your boyfriend is concerned, what would it hurt to go to the doctor?
