What Is The Treatment For HPV Infection?

I have been diagnosed with HPV causing Cervical Cancer. I am currently in treatment for this and have had a biopsy for suspected high grade lesion. This has made me worried about what else I may be at risk for. I have had unprotected sex as recently as 13 weeks ago and as far as I am aware my partner was HIV negative. However I had unprotected sex 4 years ago, there having been a 4 year interim between unprotected sex. How likely is it that I could be HIV positive?

Hi
HPV is a sexually transmitted infection(STI) just like HIV.When you are diagnosed of any STI, it is always good to exclude the others.However, HIV is not only transmitted through sex.HIV like HPV when diagnosed early and manage is not lethal.So be calm, have control of yourself.Then request an HIV test in the hospital.If negative, run another test after 3 months.If positive, start your treatment early and enjoy a normal life.Wait for the results of your cervical biopsy and trust your Doctor.All will be well.
