Worried first smear test cane back positive

Hello, 

So since receiving my postive letter from my smear say hpv found, no abnormal cervical cells?

I have bin googling a look witch I no I shouldn't but so ashamed and scared and it came up about herpes and I just over thinking and worrying to much? But the letter says nothing to worry about but I can't sleep can eat over thinking it :cry: 

or would they have said for me to go straight back in if they thought it was something like that  

can somebody please help me

    Obviously I am much older than you.  I do remember a number of years ago I had one done that was HPV (human papilloma virus, not sure got that quite right but if you Google you will find) positive.  Like you I felt quite concerned.  I learned though that there are a lot of different strains of this virus but only one that causes cervical cancer potentially.  So if they are telling you you are ok I really would not worry.  In time my smears came back completely clear again x
