I had one "abnormal" pap when I was 20 years old. I am now 32 and every one I've had since then has been normal. I'm assuming your doctor scheduled another one (I think I had a repeat done 6 months later that turned out fine).

Try not to worry about the results of just one test and if your doctor didn't schedule another one (or tell you to call in a few/6 months), call them and ask if you need a retest.
