Smear test results very worried

Hello everyone,

I just got my first cervical screening results today and I have high risk HPV and abnormal cells, I will have to go for a colposcopy.

I am only 24 and been vaccinated for HPV in school so it was not the results I was expecting and it has thrown me into a tizzy. 
 

Would just like some advice on what this now means for me and if this means I could potentially have cervical cancer. Any chat on what happens next would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Holly, 

     

    I've had three friends who around your age had a similar thing inthat they all came back as HPV positive and spent weeks worrying waiting on colposcopy only for the results to all be fine after the colposcopy. Hope it helps ease your mind a little, the anxiety waiting is horrible.
