Hello, welcome to HCM.
Firstly, you did not tell us your age. If you are sexually active, then you and your partner both has to be treated for HPV infection. Because, unprotected sexual intercourse is an etiological factor of HPV infection.
Now, HPV infection mainly leads to squamous cell carcinoma. because due to the chronic infection there is mutation in P53 gene which ultimately leads to uncontrolled cell growth .
So, you have to repeat the PAP smear, and if the report is bad, you have to be treated meticulously.
It would be better to give you any opinion if you provide me the report of the previous papsmear.
Regards.
