Re: PAPSMEAR: ASCUS but no HPV test could be done

What has your MD told you, Mary? S/he is the best one to answer the question since they did the test and they have the report directly in front of them.

You can also try searching the archives if you have not done that to see if this question or one similar has already been asked by someone else. Unfortunately, the Drs. do not answer every question due to time constraints :(.

I do hope you've been able to get an answer to your question from your MD by now.

Good luck!
