Can HPV come back after normal pap?

yeah, bacterias go away. viruses are for life. just like the chicken pox virus lays dormant.

Once your under the age of 26 years old, their is an injection that a person can take. Go to your gyno and ask him or her about it.

So i have a question i keep reading about hpv and at moments it will make me feel ok but others im scared out of my mind. so my roommate slept with a girl. she told me she use to have hpv... she said she had it but then she got tested and it was clear a year later. well she slept with my roommate of course no protection and never told him. so since she was told she was clear does that mean he is in the clear or does he now have it. i ask for myself because things obviously happened between him and i after. 

WAIT SORRY DIDNT MEANT TO REPLY I WAS TRYING TO ASK A QUESTION ON THE SITE MY BAD 

 

 

I had an abnormal pap at 16 and was HPV positive. Went back every 6 months for 3 years after that and never had an abnormal one again. I am 19 now and just got a pap a few weeks ago and this one came back HPV positive again. Going for a colposcopy tomorrow to see what my next step is... So yes it might come back... My doctor told me that it is very rare but could happen and since it is found early again it probably will go away.. AGAIN. Good luck I hope it doesn't happen to you!

this post is partly correct, symptoms can reoccur more than once at any time.

i was tested positive 2years ago on hpv 15-16.. had to go thru colposcopy and leep procedure... all the cells were taken.. pap and colposcopy 6months later was neg.. now just recently i was tested positive again and its hpv 15 again .. so i have gotten the same twice/

I think everyone should actually follow up with their doctors and don't use Google as a health tool. Hpv is NOT an STD...it is a virus that clears up within one to two years. It is so sad how reading something so small on the internet can worry and stress women out about their health. HPV cannot be detected in Men because they do not have a cervix. Almost every woman in the world will have HPV once in their lifetime because it is normal. These vaccines that they are giving young men and women are actually inputting the virus in our systems just like the flu. Your body fights it off and it's gone. If you keep having re-occurrences, it's most likely another stand from another male partner.

Don't stress yourselves out or feel bad about yourselves because you will NOT die from HPV. Just take better care of yourselves like some of the ladies mentioned...eat right, exercise and most importantly build your immune system :)

You are in Big Denial if you think its no big thing for men!! Omg!! There are so many men during of throat and mouth cancers because they have been diagnosed with HPV!! I know personally men who have cancer of the throat that has spread to their whole jaw!! Very very serious!! Your boyfriend needs to be tested too!! Don't put this off!! Early detection is your best cure!! Please take this very seriously sweetie!!

Sorry I meant to say dieing of throat cancer..my fingers are working too fast..

Omg!! Are you in denial!!?? Are you a medical Dr??? YOU CAN DIE FROM HPV!!!! it is serious and does not go away on its own!! Eating right and exercising has Nothing to do with HPV!!! Many men including Celine Dion's husband have died from the HPV VIRUS!! That's what causes cancer of their throats and mouth!! You better start researching this and talk with a MEDICAL SPECIALIST !!! I am a surgical nurse!! I have assisted with many surgeries on men who have cancer that has spread to their throat mouth jaw!! HPV is what caused their cancer!!!!INTERESTING

I was treated for plantars warts for 3 years (hands and feet). One on my finger was bothersome (sore) and I didn't want to pass it to others so my doctors cut it out and then cauterized (burned the area) it. Every wart on my hands and feet disappeared within 2 months. Not sure how, but I feel the cauterization somehow played a big part

I was diagnosed with hpv a year and a half ago. And am in a serious relationship with the same person i have been with since i got tested the first time. He has also been tested and results say he is hpv free . I had freeze treatment done at doctors shortly after . I since had normal pap that was till the last time I went. The doctor had gotten ahold of me and told me that my hpv had returned a little. I now have to go back in to get treatment again.
