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.

It would be unusual to have a completely normal result on a colposcopy after a pap result severe enough to warrant a colpo. It is not unusual to have CIN I/mild dysplasia on colpo after a pap.
