Abnormal pap smear

[maryjane1975]

Hey there,

I just got  an abnormal pap smear back for the first time in my life. When I search the net (big mistake), I always find that abnormal paps "are probably HPV". Well, I know that it's NOT HPV as my husband an I have only even been with each other.

I've had a history of severe yeast infections, and have been stressed a lot lately... could this be a cause? What are some other causes of abnormalities besides HPV?

I just had the same thing come up and was worried cause i kept seeing the word HPV lol..and was like umm i was recently checked for STD'S and all came back fine (i dont have any) so was nervous and have to go in on April 20th for a Coloscopy..another test after a pap comes back as abnormal and the nurse said watever it is its low grade so i was like hmm maybe a class 3 pap smear came up and thats a bit scary. hmm..but best of wishes..i feel yahh there..
