My 1st pap was abn high risk HPV, biopsy was taken bengin, 2nd pap 6 months later still ACUS HPV positive 16,18 types detected. I was told no action needed until re-test 6 months. Unfortunately I did not have a pap for over 5 years so at this point I am not sure how long this has been. At this point is there any treatment or surgery to prevent changes or cancer

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have HPV 16 and 18 positive. So there is high risk of cervical cancer. You had 2 pap test negative and no test since 5 years. You should go for Pap smear test first. If it is still negative then no need to worry. just go for follow up pap test at every 6 months. If you Pap test shows any high grade squamous intra epithelial lesion or carcinoma then you should go hysterectomy accordingly. Consult your doctor go for pap test and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
