Question by La L: What occurs when the cervical dysplasia is gone but the high risk hpv is still present?
I was diagnosed with low-grade cervical dysplasia a while ago and following my most recent test I was told that I no longer had the dysplasia but the high-risk hpv that caused it was still there... Does this mean that cervical dysplasia could come back? And is it feasible that the hpv could ever go away?

Yes, if you still have HPV present, then you could have a recurrence of cervical dysplasia. This mean you need to have standard Pap smears to monitor your progress.

Most females clear their infection eventually. But some women's infections persist indefinitely. I don't know which category you're in, but you will have to take a wait-and-see approach. In the mean time, you really should take excellent care of your self. Don't smoke (smoking is linked to higher risk of dysplasias), eat healthy and physical exercise so your otherall wellness and immune system are working nicely.
