[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of us in our 50s weren’t regularly tested for HPV in the 1980s and 1990s when we likely got it. I think I was around 30 when they added it to the annual Pap. Here’s my question—is it having a current HPV infection that raises your risk. Or having ever had an HPV infection? The guidelines suggest the former but it seems like since most people clear HPV quickly it would not be such a big deal if you only have to worry about active HPV. [/quote] Active, long-term HPV infection is what can cause changes. Most people are carriers but simply clear it.[/quote]
