Brief Answer:
HPV will stay

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

HPV is normally present in many women. There is no cure for it. Healthy life style will keep under check. It won't go away.

You keep getting pap smear once every 3 years. Colposcopy is not necessary for you as you are too young to have cancer or precancerous tissue.

Since your pap smear is normal I don't see any reason to worry.

Let me know if you need anymore help
