I didn’t know doctors even tested for low risk strains. I know the test exists but it’s not normal to test for low risk hpv in a screening hpv test if the paps are all normal.
OP here—I checked my results page and it said negative for strains 16, 18 and 45. It didn’t say anything about being positive for anything else. The person who called me with results said I tested negative for the three cancer-causing strains and positive for a low-risk strain but didn’t give a number. They said come back in a year to get rechecked. I went to a Planned Parenthood clinic if it makes any difference.
