How long does HPV58 infection take to become cancerous?

HPV type 58 infection is a high-risk HPV infection. If it persists, it will cause precancerous lesions of the cervix and even develop into cervical cancer. It takes about two years from the beginning of infection to the occurrence of low-grade cervical lesions. It also takes about two years from low-grade lesions to high-grade lesions. It also takes about two years from high-grade lesions to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can occur in women with cervical cancer. It takes about 6-8 years for high-risk HPV infection to develop cervical cancer. If high-risk HPV infection is found, colposcopy should be done first to exclude cervical epithelial lesions.
