If your screening test shows you have HPV but normal cervical cells, you’ll be asked to have another test (usually a year later but your results letter will say when). This is to see if the infection has gone. Your HPV will usually clear up with the help of your immune system. If the infection hasn’t gone, your risk of developing abnormal cervical ...
If your test result says that you have cells with ‘borderline’ or ‘mild’ changes, you’ll have more tests. Although these mild changes rarely develop into cancer and may well return to normal by themselves, they need to be checked. You’ll be offered a further test called a colposcopy to look at your cervix more closely. This is usually within six we...
If your test result says that you have cells with ‘moderate’ or ‘severe’ changes, it still means you don’t have cancer. But cells with these changes are less likely to return to normal on their own so you may need treatment. You’ll be offered a colposcopy to examine your cervix, usually within two weeks, to see if you do need treatment.

If this happens, you’ll be asked to have another test after three months. It may worry you if you have high-risk HPV and/or abnormal cells. If you’re concerned about your results or don’t understand th...

A smear test (also known as a cervical screening test), is used to detect certain subtypes of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that can cause changes to the cervical cells, as well as check whether there are any abnormal cervical cells (dyskaryosis) which need treating before they become cancerous. What are the benefits of a smear test?
