A colposcopy is a procedure that allows a healthcare provider to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease or abnormalities, usually recommended after an abnormal Pap test result.

Both tests can help detect abnormalities early and guide further management.
Does a normal cervical biopsy and normal colposcopy rule out HPV even if your Pap was abnormal?
A pap test is just a pre screening to cervical cancer. If the pap test was abnormal, it only indicates an abnormal cell growth on the cervix. A separate test called the HPV test needs to be done to rule out HPV. It is not normally offered or routinely done, it is something that you would have to ask for. You would have been notified if a test was done and you tested positive for HPV. If there was any kind of abnormality during the pap test and the cervical and colposcopy came out normal, you should err on the safe side and still request an HPV test if you suspect you have it.
