Sore throat

Has anyone had a very bad sore throat with hpv positive. I having another smear in November after 1 yr hpv and wondered if it is just a sore throat or being run down with hpv, it’s painful all day and night and getting worse, been 5 days now. Will try and see my dr tomorrow if I can get through on the phone x

Hi Beau1,

HPV has no symptoms and most people will only know they have it by attending cervical screening. It is more likely that your sore throat and feeling run down is being caused by another unrelated viral infection. The additional stress you may be suffering as a result of being HPV positive and the worry it can cause, probably isn’t helping.
