High-risk HPV positivity is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is mainly spread through sexual contact, but it can also be
spread through other means such as contact with contaminated items. Among them, high-risk HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer.
If your HPV test result is positive, it means that you may have HPV infection, cervical cancer or cervical lesions. Therefore, it is very important for anyone who is sexually active to
get tested for HPV regularly.
There are generally two ways to test for high-risk HPV positivity: cervical smears and HPV genotype testing. Cervical smear examination is a routine gynecological examination that
can detect abnormal changes in cervical cells and detect cervical cancer early. The HPV genotype test detects the presence of high-risk HPV viruses in the body. If the test result is
positive, it means that you may be at risk of infection.
There are many ways to prevent high-risk HPV positivity. First, regular gynecological examinations, including cervical smears and HPV genotype testing, are recommended. Secondly,
maintain good living habits, such as avoiding unsafe sexual behavior and not using public bathing facilities. In addition, HPV vaccination is also an effective way to prevent HPV infection.
Although high-risk HPV positivity requires attention, there is no need to panic. As long as timely examination and treatment are carried out, most cases can be effectively controlled.
