A positive high-risk HPV type 16 does not indicate cervical cancer, but only the presence of high-risk HPV infection in the cervical epithelium. If this high-risk HPV infection persists, it may lead to lesions in the cervical epithelium, resulting in precancerous cervical lesions, or the development of cervical cancer. The most important thing to do for a positive high-risk HPV type 16 is colposcopy, which is done to find out if cervical epithelial lesions have occurred. In case of precancerous lesions, different treatments are given depending on the degree to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer. It is very important for women to be screened for cervical cancer once a year, even if they are not in discomfort, so that abnormalities can be treated in time, mainly to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer.
