How Can HPV Infection Be Treated?
Hi, I was just informed that my pap results from last week I have a strand of HPV, not the high risk. I have been with one person for a year. my last pelvic exam was 3 years ago and was normal. I have no signs or symptoms and my partner does not either. I don t know when I got this. and if we are just giving it back to each other when having sex. I know it usually clears on its own but I also have lesions-abnormal cells on my cervix as well. just want to know how long it lives usually before it clears up on its own.

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
There is no treatment for HPV infection when no symptoms are present.
Instead, doctors treat the health problems that are caused by the HPV virus. When genital warts appear, a variety of treatments can be used.
You can apply prescription creams at home.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help.
Kindly regards, Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
