How long can HPV infection be detected?

HPV has an incubation period after infection, which is normally thought to be three weeks to eight months, that is to say, within three weeks to eight months after infection with HIV virus, it is possible that the test result at this time will be negative, that is to say, it may show a false negative result. Of course, even if false negative results are shown, don't be nervous, because HPV virus takes a long time to show normal cervical cancer and precancerous lesions after infection, so HPV or cervical cancer screening must be carried out regularly.
