HPV deals with your cervix and cervical cancer not cold sores, that’s HSV. Now there are different levels of HPV and your doctor will test and see where you fall to determine treatment. I got it, turned into cancer, I got treatment for 6m and it was gone, relapsed 6m later,had a good portion of my cervix removed but have been cancer free for 5 years now (and have had kids). It is best if you catch it early and they can remove the spots before it spreads.
Pap smear results
My Pap smear this year came up with HPV. This is the first time in four years. Has anybody has this??? I always get cold sores and stuff always have since I was young. and I told my doctor that but I think I was too disoriented at the results to actually understand what she was saying. She said that because I was just sick it could’ve shown on my results where it didn’t before. I’m kinda scared

I had tested positive for it back in 2001. I had my cervix frozen shortly after I got the results back. Every pap I've had since then has come back normal. You might want to get a pap every 6 months to ve sure. I was getting them that way for a couple of year's then they told me I didn't need to anymore.
HPV is not the same as cold sores. It can be warts or bumps in the genital area or it can cause cancer. They will usually take a biopsy of it to determine the next steps, possibly a colposcopy... I would make another appointment and maybe take someone else with to listen incase you start zoning out again... 💗
