Different tests: PAP does not detect HPV, but detects the effects of it like CIN. You should still get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other strains of HPV. Follow your doctor's about repeat PAPs and other surveillance. HPV does cause CIN and can cause worse.

HPV and CIN1: CIN1 is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and it’s not cancer, but precancerous. The number 1 means that it’s low-grade or has low potential for becoming cancerous. As for cause, it can be due to certain types of HPV or it can occur without HPV as well. Meaning other factors like smoking/environment/genetic risk can play a role. Follow up with your doctor as recc. for repeat testing.
