If you : had an abnormal Pap test, this is likely from human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is best detected from DNA tests done on liquid Pap test. Colposcopy cannot see the actually virus, only cellular changes likely caused b y the HPV infection. HPV is very common, present in a large part of the population over our lifetime.
