A couple of years ago I had a smear test which led to a labia biopsy. My results stated that I had genital warts but thankfully not the cancer causing HPV. It was a horrible time questioning my husband on how I had them in the first place... Doctor did not tell us it could lie dormant for years Mumsnet did I'm due a smear and am absolutely terrified and feel physically sick at the thought of going back. I've convinced myself that I can't possibly have anything wrong as I have the wrong kind of HPV so can anyone reassure me that this is the case or am I just being stupid?
Also, can you only test positive if you're having a flare up? Is there a chance I'd be negative now. I had no symptoms before the Doctor noticed I was a bit red down below so decided to test more closely.
