Hi all,

I recently tested HR positive (negative for 16/18) right as I’ve restarted a combined birth control pill.

I’ve read studies about hormones affecting HPV persistence, but my doctor said I shouldn’t discontinue the pill. However, I’ve also read success stories about women clearing HPV only after stopping BC.

Has anyone successfully cleared HPV even while remaining on birth control? If so, which form are you on?

I take it for pain management and it’s a great help, but don’t want to cause harm to my body in the long run with any chance of this turning into cervical cancer.

Thank you!
