Anon - I'm not clear on whether you're saying that she had an abnormal pap test or if you're saying that she has HPV. The pap test does not test for HPV, it's a separate test. To be sure about her HPV status she needs to take an HPV test.
If you're a woman, you should have the HPV test too. If you're a man, be aware that there's no test for men. Here's a link to information on HPV and men: http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-and-men.htm
