I had the LEEP procedure done last Friday
for abnormal cell changes. My doctor
called and said the results came back with
clear margins, but the pathologist noted
that he saw infection. My doctor asked me
to come in for a STD test, but, I have
been with a faithful husband for 4 1/2
years. What other kinds of infection may
have caused this? Could it be from the HPV
which caused the cell changes?

I think you are right -- HPV could very
well be the culprit (I had a problem with
abnormal paps for about a year). I'm not
doctor but, I can say that going ahead
with the STD test is probably your next
step. Many woman and men can have an
infection for years and never know it --
so, while you and your husband have
remained faithful to one another, a past
sexual partner may have long ago infected
one of you.
