A positive HPV test at 60 years old can occur due to several factors, including the persistence of the virus from earlier infections or new exposure to HPV. Many people are exposed to HPV at some point in their lives, and while the immune system often clears the virus, some strains can persist and lead to abnormal cell changes. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss any necessary next steps in monitoring or treatment. Regular screenings remain crucial for early detection of any potential issues.

How can you have four years of normal pap tests and this one comes back positive for chlamydia?

A pap smear does not detect chlamydia. A pap smear can not detect chlamydia, and a negative Pap smear does not indicate that you don't have chlamydia. So, yes, it's possible to have a Pap test for four years and not know you have chlamydia if your health care provider didn't do a specific test for chlamydia. Did your health care provider actually test for chlamydia in the prior four years? First check with your health care provider, and then you can try to figure out how you might have contracted it, if in fact you had a negative test as soon as a year ago.

If a pap smear is done soon after your period will your pap smear show up as being abnormal?

More commonly if you schedule your PAP just before your period can cause it to come back abnormal. But if your follow up is normal, don't worry. Many women have a couple abnormal over the years with no other problems.


You had a pap smear monday and today you started spotting should you be worried?

No, there is nothing to worry about. Most doctors are gentle while others aren't so it could just be a little irritation causing the bleeding. Also if you had your pap smear close to your period this could bring on spotting. NEVER get a pap smear done while you are close to having your period because you can have a positive reading re cancer cells and it will certainly throw a scare into the female patient, but this DOES NOT mean it's cancer. You could go back for another pap smear a week after your period and all is fine.
