How Long Does Papilloma Virus Take To Develop?

I have just had back results of my 2nd cervical screening test results that have shown a result called mild dyskaryosis, i.e. changes to the cells of my cervix. Having read that it is often associated with the human papilloma virus, how long does the virus take to develop?

Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

HPV has usually very long incubation period. Average incubation period is three months but it can be varied from 8 weeks to 8 months.

Many a times though changes has started developing at microscopic level but they are grossly very clear.

So, Microscopic examination is the only way to diagnose and confirm the changes associated with HPV.
