HPV positive - healing times?
Hi girls. So after a routine PAP it turned out I am HPV + (high risk) and have abnormal cells (waiting for colposcopy to see how bad the cells have changed -though my OB assured me they are not cancerous yet). I have been with my partner for just about two years, and 100% faithful (and so has he). Hence I am assuming that I got this either from him or someone previous. I read that most HPV infections (including high risk) should clear by themselves in max. 2 years. As I am now two years in the relationship I am worried I have a more persistent form (I am not disillusioned, I know this is a possibility, but of course this would really suck. I am only 27 so my immune system should have been capable of clearing something like this). So, my question is: has any of you who experienced this had longer clearing times? Should I still hope it can go away by itself or am I mathematically speaking already condemned to carry it for the rest of my life? Does the LEEP help to clear it in your experience? Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply!
