A member asked:
I have tested positive for high risk hpv & abnormal pap so having colposcopy done. when should you do a repeat pap smear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on findings: Of examination by colposcopy. It your doctor detects an abnormal site, s/he may do a biopsy, and will advise about the frequency of pap testing. In any case you should not wait more than one year for a repeat pap.
