It means that you should get repeat PAPs as advised by your doctor. It is too soon to worry about cancer. Get HPV vaccine to prevent infection by other stains of the virus. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

HPV sometimes disappear by itself and even if persistent does not necessarily lead to cancer- just regular check ups are needed. If you had cancer- which you dont your doc would have told you
