Thanks Cherie! Great info, but I wanted to ask about this one. You mention that HPV infections can 'go away' without any treatment over the course of a few years.

Does that mean that HPV is not a virus that one will deal with for the rest of their life after contracting it? I'm a bit surprised... I thought it was a life virus if you got it. Good news if it's not and I misunderstood

I'm obviously interested myself in waiting for the results of my Colposcopy. I'm not stressed about that test anymore. It's over, the doctor said he couldn't see any immediate concerns, etc. Which is great Just waiting on the results now of course.
