HPV Diagnosis

Sandra

I recently had an abnormal pap smear and was positive for HPV. I have only been with my husband except for a brief separation period 8 years ago. We both had a different partner for 3 months. This is the first time I've had an abnormal pap smear in 28 years. What does this mean?? I'm really nervous because I now am going in for a colposcopy. Should I be worried? How could this happen now???
