Fellow cup users, now that I've been diagnosed with mild cervical dysplasia a few questions come to my mind regarding my cup and I hope you can help me

HPV is a virus that lives in your body. It's always there. You can't reinfect your partner and your partner can't reinfect you. However, from time to time, depending on your body's immune system, you can have flare-ups caused by the virus...the flare-up being the cervical changes. So don't worry about using your cup and disinfecting it a certain way to "kill the virus." You already have the virus.
Hopefully you're body will just fight it off on its own and you'll have a clear pap before long. I just had my follow up after my second round of cervical dysplasia. Hoping that pap will be clear. I've already had one LEEP done back in my early 30s.
After seeing a number of factually questionable comments here, I thought I should post some links to some heartening and slightly more accurate information. If you have mild dysplasia, don't worry! Chances are your body will heal itself. There is debate in the medical community about whether the body can clear itself of the virus, or whether it stays dormant inside of you. For those who say it stays with you forever, it's interesting to note that the majority of women with mild dysplasia don't seem to have detectable hpv after they naturally clear it from their systems....so why do we say that they still have it? It's a guess by a portion of the scientific community that stands to benefit from dysplasia-related surgeries - and should be stated as such
