A member asked:

Would hsv cause ascus, red blood cells, and inflammatory cells present. is that common? have not been tested for hpv or hsv.... scared, please help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check for HPV: Ascus: acronym for atypical cells of undetermined significance and indicates mild cellular cervical changes with an unknown cause. Most common causes of ascus pap smears are minor infection, cervical inflammation, and hpv infection. Hsv unlikely. You should have hpv dna test done and check with your doctor on whether they can do it on your same ascus sample. Likely will repeat pap in 6-12 months.
