Hpv positive no abnormal cells

Natalie • Mummy to my princess💓

Hi everyone so my smear came back as hpv positive but no abnormal cells, I'm worried out of my mind doctor says just live your normal life but this is having a massive toll on my mental health, has anyone had success stories of it gone after a year? Best things to help it go too? Also with partners did you use protection or just carry on as normal? Because 9/10 you got it from them x
