A member asked:
Normal pap smear last year, negative hpv . had one month of mid cycle spotting for 2 days . chance of cervicle cancer now only 1 year later?

HPV is the only cause of cervical cancer, and a negative test a year earlier makes cancer exceedingly unlikely. And there are many common causes of mid-cycle spotting. You should make an appointment with your ObG, but cancer is a very unlikely outcome. Good luck.
