This can be a concerning diagnosis to hear, but high-risk HPV does not mean you have cancer, and does not always turn into cancer.

High Risk HPV Facts:
- There are over a dozen different types (or strains) of high-risk HPV. Some do not cause or lead to any health problems. Other types can lead to cervical (or other types) of abnormal cell changes that then can lead to cancer over time if left untreated.
- Types 16 and 18 are the most dangerous, since they cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers.
- Most infections with high-risk HPV go away on their own and do not cause cancer.

What has your doctor recommended as your next step for further testing and/or treatment?
