I first tested positive for HVP in 2021. While I have some theories I am unsure how I got it or exactly when. I was really lucky in that I wasn’t going to ge tested again for a couple years but they wanted to conduct a pap before I could get a new prescription for my medication. I had followup testing to make sure there are no concerning cells and it’s turned out fine both times. I do not smoke so my doctors haven’ been too concerned with it turning into something serious. Which is great but isn’t my only concern. Fast forward to August 2023, and I got retested and I am still positive. Anytime I try asking the doctors focus on cervical cancer rather than my “love” life and what I am suppose to do for another year (which is when they will be willing to test me again). There is no treatment for it, the body just needs to clear the infection on its own. Even with this, they gave me no advice other than just give it time. Any advice? should I post in r/AskaDoc?
It’s not technically an STI but it has similar energy to me.
TL/dr I have HPV and feeling powerless.
