Can HPV Be Cured?

I had my loop diathermy back in January, results were fine but the smear last month showed that high risk HPV is still there but there were no abnormalities and was referred to a new smear in April. I was advised it takes time for HPV to complete disappear but will it ever? And also I had unprotected sex in May, would that risk anything and perhaps thats why September's test showed HPV is still there? thanks

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have high risk HPV virus. Your smear test is normal now so no treatment is required now. HPV remains in basal layer so it will take time. Detection of HPV is not a cause of concern. But HPV has high chance of recurrent lesion despite of treatment so regular monitoring and PAP smear test is required.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
