A member asked:
If a woman's pap test results are normal but she has an hpv infection in her body, can an hpv test detect that she has an hpv infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An additional test can be done on PAP smear material to look of HPV nucleic acids. However, it would not change the course of action. You should get repeat PAP tests, as advised by your doctor. You are young enough to get HPV vaccine.
