Does a negative Pap smear mean no HPV?

I got a negative PAP smear test. Does a negative Pap smear mean no HPV?

1 Answer

It means that no HPV cells were detected on the smear. ? That is good news, but it's always a good idea to follow up on any symptoms and get care regularly from your provider to continue to monitor your health/HPV status, avoid risky or unhealthy behaviors, and take good care of yourself.
