How Can HPV Infection Be Treated?

I m 57 years old and haven t had sex in 10 years and just had an annual pap test and my doctor called today to say I have the hpv virus in my cervical areaand only got it thru a sexual partner. My pap test 3 years ago didn t show this and my husband and I have been married 34 years and don t screw around on each other so my question is how in the world did I get this and three years ago I had a urensus biopsy and it came back good I haven t had my period in almost 3 years and the pa said I have to have annual pap in one year

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

1) Meet the gynecologist ask for the complete report , if HPV is positive ask for the strains they have tested, whether low risk or high risk
2) You may need yearly pap testing and HPV testing to check whether the HPV infection persists
3) If pap is abnormal then they will ask for a test called colposcopy which is visualization of the cervix to look for any abnormality, based on which further evaluation can be done
4) If you have any new symptoms of white discharge, bleeding vagina or post coital bleed please meet your doctor
5)Many times the test may be a false positive test which on successive testings will be negative.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
