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.

Do pre-cancerous cells on your cervix mean you have HPV?
Pre-cancerous cells on the cervix are almost always caused by HPV. But if you had an abnormal Pap smear and are waiting for colposcopy, you shouldn't assume anything until the colposcopy biopsy results come in. Cervical dysplasia can result from HPV infection that happened many, many years ago. A diagnosis of cervical dysplasia is not evidence that your partner has other partners at this time. Most people pick up genital HPV strains very soon after becoming sexually active, and it would be unusual to find a partner who was not infected unless he or she had never had oral, anal, or vaginal sex or genital-genital contact with someone else. This is why vaccination for genital HPV is so important, even for someone who plans to have only one lifetime partner.
