Had “unknown” strain for 4-5 years

I got my first Pap smear when I just turned 28 and it was positive for an unknown strain. 4 years later I’m still testing positive for the same strain. It’s so frustrating because I’m 32 -will I ever have a sex life again lol I’ve been referred onto a gynaecologist as it is a persistent infection. Has anyone successfully cleared an infection that has been around this long (or longer)? I don’t drink, smoke etc and I’m reasonably healthy (not ocd by any means).
