HPV with no abnormal cells. What does this mean?

Just receive my smear test results and found out I have Hpv but no abnormal cells. Like so many of you this has floored me and I dont really understand. My previous smears have all been fine and I've been with my partner for years.  Got to wait a year for another test and so anxious right now. 

  • Hello Tonilouise12

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious following your recent cervical screening results.

    HPV is far more common than many people realise but many women are left feeling worried when they receive positive results. You might find it helpful to have a look at the information here on the Jo's Trust website which hopefully will give you some reassurance about things. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm and I'm sure they will be able to offer you some advice and support. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
