Answers:
HPV is connected to being a cause of abnormal Pap results (these "abnormal" results are simply changes in the cells of the cervix and don't necessarily indicate cancer)

If your Pap is normal, then it isn't likely that you have HPV!. Basically, if you have HPV it won't do much to you, except possibly cause abnormal cells which would then be picked up by the Pap!.

The best practice to avoid the HPV (human papilloma virus - warts) is to practice safe sex!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
