HPV testing in pap screening is not done to tell you if you do or don't have HPV; it only tells you if you have high-risk (cancer-causing) subtypes of HPV on your cervix. The standard was changed to 21 years old because younger women generally clear HPV and cervical abnormalities without treatment, and treatment options may affect future fertility.
