That is the part people skip. They treat the lice, feel resolved, and never get the full screen that the diagnosis was pointing at.

Classically a single, round, firm, painless ulcer with a clean base, appearing weeks after exposure at the site of contact. It heals on its own over a few weeks whether or not it is treated.

The classic description is also frequently not what happens. Multiple sores, painful sores and atypical appearances are all documented.

The practically useful version is unchanged: attend cervical screening. That is where cervical risk is actually managed regardless of what else you have had.

HIV organisations in most countries publish specific guidance on exactly this and often run advice lines. That is the right source, not a forum and not a general employment website.
