How long can you live if you are positive for HPV type 52?

  How long a patient with HPV type 52 positive can live usually depends on the severity of the patient’s disease, whether the patient is treated or not, the immunity of the body and other factors.  HPV type 52 is a high-risk infection, but it does not mean that patients will definitely develop cervical cancer, only that the chance of infection is slightly higher. If the patient’s cervical TCT test is normal, the HPV virus can usually gradually turn negative on its own after 1-2 years through regular re-examination and strengthening physical exercise to increase resistance. However, if the patient is persistently positive for HPV52 and has an abnormal TCT test, colposcopy is needed to determine whether there is a cervical lesion. If precancerous lesions of the cervix are present, cervical physiotherapy or cervical conization will be required. With effective treatment, the patient can usually also be converted to negative for HPV. However, if the patient does not undergo treatment, the disease may worsen and HPV will continue to live in the body.  In addition, patients need to exercise in their daily life to improve their immune system and help clear the HPV virus in their body.
