Your choice: The presence of HPV on such a study would not be unusual or require removal. As many as 70% of women your age have antibody evidence of past HPV on some studies. The fraction of Pap smears that come back with pre-cancer or cancer is small but significant. If you would rather schedule separate visits it is your choice but may not be covered by some insurers that way. Check with your plan.
