One of the most common reasons patients seek advice is uncertainty about what an HPV result actually means.
One of the most common reasons patients seek advice is uncertainty about what an HPV result actually means. HPV testing, cervical screening, anal cytology and specialist investigations can generate significant anxiety when results are not fully understood.
HPV is common, and most infections never lead to serious health problems. Factors such as age, smoking status, immune function, previous HPV-related disease and screening history all influence an individual’s level of risk. For this reason, results should always be interpreted within the context of the wider clinical picture rather than in isolation.
Understanding risk is rarely as simple as having HPV or not having HPV. Different HPV strains carry different levels of risk, and the significance of a result often depends upon a combination of factors rather than a single test. Clear interpretation of results can help patients make informed decisions whilst ensuring that significant findings receive timely investigation and specialist care where required.




Wow! Dr. Dan was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my health and well being. I’m so glad to have found him!
I have been going to Dr Wright for a number of years now. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, open minded and efficient, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
I have been a patient of Doctor Dan for some time and continue to consult with him despite having left the UK. Dan has the enthusiasm and energy of a young man, whilst taking the holistic “physician” approach of an old school family doctor, equipped with the most modern insights and technology.
Dr Jain was great. Expert knowledge with practical advice
