Hello Human Papilloma virus is the causative factor in more than 95 percent cases of cervix cancer. Getting infected with HPV virus makes a person more prone to cancer of cervix uteri although it goes through stages from precancerous condition i.e developing CIN 1,2,3 to frank invasive cervix cancer. CIN 1 can become normal or develop into 2 over a time period of few years. CIN 2, 3 has got higher chances to develop into carcinoma (over 5-20 years some time). But any person tested positive for HPV Should consult their gynaecologist to discuss whether any frank growth present or suspicious area which needs to be confirmed with biopsy. Treatment in case of CIN 2 and 3 is suggested based on patient's age, family completed or future pregnancy is planned, patient can come for regular followup or not. In your case you should definitely consult your gynaecologist for biopsy and to discuss other issues. Thanks for posting. Hope this answer solves your query
