hi
if you have persistent hpv 16, then it does not necessarily mean that you will have cancer in future.
it just indicates that you have more chances, upto 60 %, of having cancer.
no need to worry at this stage. take appropriate and regular treatment.
anticipate any abnormalities, have a regular check up. that should be fine
thanks
HI
ITS NOT CONFIRM THAT YOU WILL GET CANCER BUT YOU ARE AT HIGH RISK.
REGULAR CHECKUPS WITH A GYNECOLOGIST WILL KEEP YOU UNDER WATCH AND EARLY SYMPTOMS CAN BE PICKED UP.
AT PRESENT NO NEED TO PANIC
