There are more than 40 HPV types. In 90% of cases, the body's immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. But, sometimes, HPV infections are not cleared and can cause genital warts and cervical cancer.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. Your boyfriend should be tested.
A biopsy of cervical tissue is done to diagnosis cervical cancer.
I suggest you make a list of all the questions you have and bring that list along with you at your next doctor's appointment.
