Depends: Cervical cancer in 70 % of cases is positive for high risk hpv strains. I dont think you have cancer. Just have the colposcopy done and after it you ll know exactly what you need to do.

Need colpo results: A pap smear is a test for cervical cancer. Trichomonas is an infection, which wouldn't cause stage 3 changes in the cervix. Colposcopy is when a doctor looks at the cervix with a microscope, using a medication to make any abnormal areas stand out. If the dr. Sees an abnormality, they may to a biopsy where they take a sample of tissue. Only after the colposcopy and biopsy will you have a diagnosis.
