Can a normal pap smear still mean HPV??
I got a pap smear and HPV test recently, and I just got my results in the mail. It said that my recent pap smear came back normal and negative for malignancy. Does this mean I'm in the clear for HPV?? I had unprotected sex 2-3 times with my boyfriend who I later found out had genital warts. How is it possible that I didn't get it if he had it?!
the only result i got back were the pap, my doctor was talking really fast and i didnt get the chance to ask, i have gotten the first dose of gardisil, but only a couple days ago
did you get your hpv test results back yet?
have you had your gardasil shot series?

the genital warts would not show up in the pap. The pap only displays a type of HPV which causes cell changes and can in some rare cases lead to cancer. The type of HPV that results in genital warts are never cancerous, just unpleasant, and are diagnosed when visible wart symptoms are present.
