Hello, Last year I had the cervical conization treatment twice. It turned out that they didn't cut enough the first time, so I had to have the procedure one more time. I also did tests on hpv and it came out to 16. After the treatments I did detailed tests, including oncogenic hpv, and it turned out that it was not found. Does that mean I don't have this virus anymore? Should I get vaccinated for hpv now? Thank you in advance for the answer. Regards Kasia

Good morning! The HPV virus does not go away, it just goes into a latent state (just like herpes). If you are a carrier of the HPV 16 virus, you should receive increased oncological vigilance, i.e. cytology once a year. Vaccination against HPV may be considered as the vaccine protects against other types of HPV viruses, both oncogenic and condylomatous. Regards
