It depends.: If your smear is borderline, as in cis or cancer in situ, it means that it isn't invasive, but must be removed or it will ultimately invade your body, but then you would need colposcopy, and a cone biopsy. More likely, this means borderline neoplasia/dysplasia, which is not quite normal, but not yet cancer. This can also be called atypical. See your doctor for more info. And get your yearly pap.

Nonspecific: Borderline can mean not enough tissue to evaluate, abnormal cells. Will most likely need a repeat exam sooner than a yearly exam. Hope this helps.
