i am not sure what the purpose of your 4 additional replies, quoting what I have already said in 6 minutes. We do not provide diagnoses on this Forum and Dr. Handsfield and I do not give 2nd opinions as we have worked together for over 40 years and never disagree on our clinical assessments although our verbal styles vary. Your anxiety is misplaced. Unless your circumstance is somehow unusual, the fact is that most sexually active persons acquire HPV during their lives. Over 60% of unvaccinated monogamous women who have a single sex partner acquire HPV within a year of the onset of vaginal sex. I suggest that you review other posts on this form regarding HPV on which you will find repeated statements regarding our shared assessment that if present HPV is NOT something to panic over and is most typically is an entirely benign process.
I used different words several times to try to transmit the same message. The message of all is the same. On line photos are a poor substitute for a clinical examination and are often misleading. The photos you sent are more consistent with benign vestibular papillomatosis than anything else but this assessment is not a substitute for a clinical evaluation by a trained clinician and, if warranted, testing. My response is not going to change.

Hi doctor
Here is the result of the Pap smear test. Would you please interpret if there’s HPV as the word HPV is not mentioned.
Does any specific cell indicated a relation with HPV being positive or negative ?

Repetitive question which was already answered. No evidence of HPV.
I hope that the information I have provided has been helpful. Our Forum permits up to three responses to each question. You have received four. Therefore this thread will be closed shortly with no further answers. In addition, I must warn you that further anxiety-driven, repetitive questions are not permitted and should you post again, the question may be closed without an answer and without return of your posting fee. Take care. EWH
