Depends on the type of HPV virus, there are many. Once HPV comes back on your pap report and it's mild they will just continue to monitor it every 6 mos to a year. Cervical cancer is totally treatable if caught early enough. You can check out the CDC website and search HPV. They have a lot of great info.
