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.

    Hello Holly,

     

    I hope you are ok, I know it's been a long time since posting but I was just hoping to find out the outcome?

    Hello,

     

    I was on a waiting list for a colposcopy for many months so decided to pay for one privately for peace of mind. It wasn't the most pleasant thing but the nurses were lovely and supportive. I had CIN 1 Dyskarosis which was removed by biopsy and I was put on smear tests every 6 months to monitor. 
     

    2 weeks ago after my last smear I got the all clear from HPV and no cell changes and put on yearly smears, which I was very relieved about. 
     

    I also only got the call a year later for my NHS colposcopy which I had to cancel, very long waiting list after covid!
