What does it mean if the cervical screening test shows high-risk HPV 52 positive?

Patient's question:

Cervical erosion ablation treatment, cervical screening HPV 52 high-risk test positive

Doctor's answer:

HPV52 positive indicates an infection with human papillomavirus, requiring active antiviral treatment. This virus infection can also be transient, as the body has its own immune resistance. It is recommended to maintain external genital cleanliness and change underwear and underwear frequently. After cervical ablation, there is a six to eight-week recovery period. During the complete recovery period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. For patients with cervical erosion, it is possible to use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while undergoing conventional medical treatment.
