Since this is worthy of a 2 hour dissertation, let's make a deal. Since there are so many possibilities and ramifications of each point, wait til the results come back. If the results are positive, we can discuss it and by that time you'll have the pap results (ASCUS or whatever). If it's negative, look at all the time we saved. 8-)

BTW, not all abnormalities of the cervix are viral.
