A member asked:
Nurse said pap showed atypia high risk hpv but not types16 or 18. can you give me information on what that means exactly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal reading: Years ago they discovered a link between HPV & various cancers.HPV is a family of dozens of virus strains.The predominant strains linked to cervical cancer are 16 & 18 but there are others.You just need to keep your follow up appointments.Atypia does not mean cancer but could be a sign you could head that direction.It may never happen but you are at risk.
