No one can predict chances of cancer. But neg. Pap s are a good sign. I recommend continued follow up with your GYN

It is highly unlikely that you have cervical cancer while PAPs are normal.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
Get Covid vaccine.
Wish you good health!

Is a cytology in Pap smears normal 3 years in a row with negative hpv more accurate or is a colposcopy more accurate ? What are risks?

A combination of both is the best tho individually too they are pretty accurate. There are no risks with either.

A 39-year-old female 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?

Some times a test can be false positive and also at times false negative. Good to see your Gyn for evaluation
