Last October I was diagnosed with HPV (Human Papola Virus) and they did a biopsy and it showed I had pre-cancerous cells. Well, 2 weeks after that I found out I was pregnant! Now, 11 months later I now have an 8 week old son.
I just got my pap smear done last week (my 6 week post pardum check up after having the baby) and everything looks great! No HPV! and No pre-cancerous cells!!
Can HPV really go away like that??????

There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-cancerous changes in the cervix.

no HPV doesn't just go away, but cells could change. There is a lot of things that can cause an abnormal pap

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) usually does not cause any symptoms and does not always produce visible genital warts.

When symptoms do develop, they usually occur 2 to 3 months after infection. However, symptoms have been known to develop from 3 weeks to many years after infection.

Symptoms that may occur with genital warts include:

Irritation.
Itching.
Bleeding.
Genital warts
Genital warts can be different sizes and shapes.

They may be large, or they may be too small to be seen with the naked eye. They may appear individually or in groups.
Warts may look like tiny bunches of cauliflower or like flat, white areas that are very difficult to see.
In women and men, warts may appear in the groin, on and around the genitals, in the urethra, or in the rectum or anus.
In women:
Genital warts may appear on the vulva, vagina, or cervix.
Women are often unaware of warts inside the vagina or on the cervix until a health professional finds them.
In men:
Genital warts may occur on the outside of the penis and scrotum.
Men are often unaware they have genital warts, even when they can be seen, until the warts are identified by a health professional.
Symptoms of genital warts may be similar to those of other conditions

HPV cannot go away or be cured as such, but it can go into recession and stay dormant while cells change
