Dear Doctors, I'm A Worrying Vietnamese Mom. I Had PAP's
Dear Doctors,
I'm a worrying vietnamese mom. I had PAP's resulted "Epithelial cell abnormalities" and "squamous cell" over 2 years ago. However, due to having less knowledge, I did not visit doctors after that. Until days ago, I'm panic to know that HPV can live upto 7 days outside of the host. Because I've used same bathtub with my daughter, she's sat right at the place I've sat everyday and we have not fill the bathtub with water often. I'm scare. she may expose to HPV from me. I just went for HPV type test yesterday and is waiting for result. I am wondering that even my test show negative, that doesnot mean I have no HPV but I did have and cleaned, and there still be posibility I have transmited it to my 9year old daughter. How I know for sure she is not infected? Thank you, doctors very much.
