Thanks -- much appreciated. I had the same kind of situation this past year. My paps came back abnormal but my biopsies and HPV tests came back negative. I would advice maybe having your pap done by another doctor's office or lab just to make sure it's not being mishandled -- I'm sure mine were. I would think that a biopsy result would be more accurate than a pap anyway since it is looking at tissue not just cells. I know it's really been stressful for me... so I can totally understand your situation. Just be sure you keep doing the follow-up stuff, better safe than sorry. BE sure you have a doctor that you really trust too, that always helps. Good luck!
-- Thank you, Anonymous
