HPV advice

1 minute read time.

Just need a bit of reassurance.  Quick background:

1.  Age 48 female

2.  Just tested positive for first time ever for high risk hpv

3.  Colpo came back CIN2/3. Will be having LEEP procedure next week

4.  I've never smoked, only drink socially occasionally and have not taken birth control since my late 20s

5.  Have never missed a pap and have been test for HPV for 9 years.  Again, this is my first positive.

6.  Onlyhave ever had one sexual partner.   Recently found out he was in a 3 year relationship with a woman. 

I have been concerned about not just the cervical dysplasia but whether or not I should be concerned about anal dysplasia.   I have no symptoms of any sort.  I'm just looking for some relief from worry that all will be ok.  Do these cancers take some time to develop?


Thank you for your time.
