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 every 36 months? Should I be seen sooner?

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

Evidence shows that from the point of HPV infection, it takes around 15 to 20 years for cell changes to develop into cervical cancer in people with a normal immune system.
