A member asked:
My pap smear last year in 2021 was normal. this year it was normal, but positive for hpv. does that mean i was exposed to this virus in the year since my last pap? should i have colposcopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some times a test can be false positive and also at times false negative. Good to see your Gyn for evaluation
