borderline cell changes and HPV positive: freaking out

Dear all, 

I am 26 and a half and I have done my PAP test again after several years (I don't even remember how many years ago I did the last one). My results came back and it was a shock: HPV positive,  borderline cell changes and a referall for a colposcopy. I am very very anxious because I have read about girls that had borderline changes identified with the smear teast but then they found them to have cancer at the colposcopy appointment. I find it very difficult to think about anything else, it's a nightmare.   I am here looking for reassurance and I hope you can help me going through the waiting... 

Thank you a lot!!!!

  • I'm the exact same age as you and had the exact same smear results too. First in 2017 and again this January and both times the colposcopies revealed nothing when vinegar solution was applied so I just have to have yearly smears for a while. Just wanted to reassure you that those results dont necessarily mean anything is really wrong. 

    Hope your appointment goes well!

  • Hi! 

    Thank you very much for your reply! It helps a LOT.

    Really? I am so worried that they might find cancer but then I try to remain rational... unfortunately there is no way to know before the appointment and it will be only in late April. I hope at least, given all this coronavirus situation....
