What is a positive HPV type 16

HPV type 16 positive is a high-risk HPV infection, the cause of which is still unknown, but it is related to sexual life, because women without a history of sexual intercourse do not cause this high-risk HPV infection, so it is related to sexual life, but this high-risk HPV infection is not transmitted through sexual contact. Women should be screened regularly for cervical cancer because if high-risk HPV infection persists in the cervix, it can lead to cervical epithelial lesions and even cervical cancer. Therefore, married women or women with a history of sexual intercourse must go to the hospital regularly for cervical cancer screening and deal with local lesions of the cervix once they are detected.
