many people show no visible symptoms.
to tell if you have it, you could get
an hpv dna test, though they can be
expensive and most doctors will only
recommend them if you are having a
problem (i.e. abnormal pap or esp.
cancer) also, you need to get a
mirror and check your labia for any
abnormal spots or warts.

If my Pap Smear comes out normal is
their still a good chance that I could
have Hpv, and if I do have it would it
be a kind that your immune system
could overcome?

if you pap comes out normal, all that
means is that hpv isnt causing
cellular changes in your cervix. it
doesnt mean you dont have it. there
is no telling if your immune system
can fight it off b/c everyones immune
system is diff. if you dont have an
active breakout, there is no way for
doctors to tell if you have hpv or
not. if you have had sex then there
is a good chance you could have hpv.
hope this helps.

I had two abnormal pap and a colpscopy
where there was a large white area that
was smooth. Can this be hpv I have
another week to go back to the doctor
and im freaking out. Also if you have
hpv is it possible to have a strian
that causes no warts.

the large white area is called
dysplasia and yes, about 95-98% of the
time, dysplasia is caused by hpv.
there are rare instances of ppl with
it who dont have hpv. yes you can
have a strain that causes no warts.
if you check the post "regarding
the "cure" debate" i included links to
pages talking about the strains that
most often cause warts and which ones
are less likely. hope this helps.=)
