Hi all
I’ve had my smear test about 2 months ago and didn’t receive my results and honestly had forgotten about it until this morning and I decided to call my surgery to see how the smear went.
Anyway I have been told my smear was satisfactory however I need to repeat in 12 months and I’ve been tested positive for HPV ? I was only speaking to the receptionist and although she was so helpful, she wasn’t medically trained to be able to go into more detail - so tomorrow morning my DR will call me to discuss the results.
I feel scared though - what does HPV mean for me ? Is this cancerous ? I had a vaccination I thought against this a few years ago.
The receptionist said something about a symptom of HPV is genital warts - however I don’t have any. I’m single, one child and I’m under 30yrs old. I have sex occasionally but always safe.
Has anybody had this before ? I keep trying to read up on this but I’m being directed to cancer research sites and I’m not shitting myself
