instruction: hi doctor I was hav 16 positivethree years back follow up pap a year later showed positive for hav 16 again last year pap was normal but my gyno doctor notes stated pap normal but hav still present I was told today that I had cleared the virus last year but why would he write hav still present if I cleared it hysterectomy with removal of my cervix and uterus was done last year pathology of cervix and uterus were fine and normal last pap was weeks ago it showed abnormal cells in my vaginal cuff and hav positive but it is not 16 or 18 the nurse told me it is a low risk type
output: hi I understand your anxiety the fortune thing is that even if last year hav was present the treatment has been done in the form of hysterectomy in fact it is over treated I do not think it is a matter of concern for your vaginal hav low risk types are rarely responsible for any cancer also if one is sexually active hav infection keeps coming and body deals with it by its own immunity what should concern us is a persistent hav infection in your vaginal smears so right now just use barrier contraception like condoms and repeat vaginal smear at months that is all follow up is what is needed as you are a very low risk case
