I was just told by my doctor that my pap smear a couple weeks ago came back abnormal. she showed me the diagram explaining the stages of CIN, mine being minor. I am not sure if i have HPV, it was never mentioned, i was too confused and unsure what to think that I forgot to ask.
I have been with my boyfriend for about a year now, before him I had 3 partners. My first pap smear in july, 2008 was clear. the next 3 boys I had unprotected sex with. Bad I know. January of this year I had blood test done for STD's, and everything was fine. (Don't think they tested me for HPV, as far as I know, there isn't a blood test for that). March of this year I started having unprotected sex with my current boyfriend of one year. I am confused as to what this abnormal result is and will it lead to cancer? I am terrified.
Also I had the gardisil shot in the spring of 2009, then in the fall of 2009 and my last shot this January (2010).
Please, someone, I need to know what I should do. When should I get another pap smear? Do I need a colposcy or biopsy? Are those procedures done in the doctor's office or by a specialist?
