A member asked:
Why would it be that my hpv test is positive and my pap test results are normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Two answers: either a new and transient hpv infection or re-imergence of an old infection that has not yet caused the cervical cells to change. You should have a followup pap and hpv in one year, and if either are abnormal you should have a colposcopy.
