I have been discharged by Colposcopy but I am still HPV positive. I used to be invited every 12 months, why has this been changed to 36 months? Should I be seen sooner?

As colposcopy have checked your cervix and did not find any changes, we do not need to see you sooner than 36 months.

Evidence shows that it takes around 15 to 20 years from HPV infection to the development of cervical cancer in people with a normal immune system.
