You can do HPV genotyping to know high risk and low risk type of HPV.
Can you get rid of high-risk HPV?

A pap smear result of ASCUS negative high risk HPV means that the cells on your cervix couldn't be called normal, but didn't have changes that suggested precancerous lesions either. A follow up test for high risk HPV types on the cervix was done. The test did not find these high risk (cancer causing) types of HPV. Based on this combination of test results, along with your age and history, your health care provider will recommend follow up testing.
Can cervical cancer cause HPV in males?
Most cervical cancer is caused by damage due to HPV. If the woman is still shedding HPV on the cervix, a man could get that strain of high-risk HPV.
If you have hpv what are the chances that you will get cevical cancer?
Having HPV (human papillomavirus) does increase the risk of developing cervical cancer, but not all HPV infections lead to cancer. Most HPV infections clear up on their own without causing any health issues. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, particularly HPV 16 and 18, is associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer, but regular screenings and preventive measures, like the HPV vaccine, can significantly reduce this risk. Overall, the majority of individuals with HPV do not develop cervical cancer.
What is HPV High RISK when ASC-US?
A pap result of ASCUS with high-risk HPV detected means that the abnormalities detected on the screen are more likely to be a real cause for concern. In contrast, ASCUS with negative high-risk HPV means that any abnormalities are not likely to be cervical dysplasia. Contact your health care provider for further diagnostic recommendations that will be based on your age and health history.

If treatment is needed for high-risk HPV, it's because the Pap smear or biopsy was abnormal. It takes many years for HPV infection to cause cervical cancer, and most people will control the virus without ever getting cancer.
What does it mean when the result pap smear detected hpv?
