Pap and a hpv test together what is the differents if my hpv is negative waiting on the dr to read my pap will my pap be negative also.. nerveous?

HPV negative is good: The HPV can be very helpful. If the HPV is negative the Pap is also likely to be negative or "atypical" at worst, and nothing further need be done. There is ongoing discussion about using HPV for screening and skipping the pap, although that is not standard of care at this time.
