Consult your doctor: If the pap test is negative, then that means "normal". If your results use any of the following terminology...Atypical, low grade, high grade, hpv...Then consult your physician for a more detailed explanation.

Normal or negative : If pap report is normal or negative, then you have no concerns. If the the report is otherwise, call you gynecologist for an explanation.
