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.
