Six months ago I had an abnormal pap. Just
recently I had another one and it came out
fine. Could it have been HPV? How would I
know if it was?

However, mine six months ago came back
with abnormal pap with HPV with the high
risk types. Just went in and this time it
came back normal. My doctor said if I
have four pap smears that come back within
normal range, than I can go to once a
year. Sounds good to me.
Yes, mine was HPV with the high risk
types. Sometimes these things happen. It
is a test that only protects women as it
is a screening device for cervical cancer.
Thank goodness for that. Please don't
freak out about it.
Please go to Kia Women's Sexual Health and
there is a lot of good information on
there for all of us.
I am sure that you will be fine. If you
have had a clear pap, you are already on
your way to being free from this thing.
Good luck.

most of all abnormal paps are caused by
hpv. Although other reasons include; yeast
infections, herpes, trichomonas, recent
sexual activity, or use of vaginal
preparations.
