HPV is detected in the genital tract. It is detected on the cervix via a Pap smear. Pap smear will not be able to detect HPV in any other location, it cannot detect on the vagina or the vulva, let alone any other more part of the body. There is no medication for treating HPV, unfortunately. However, if you have had normal Paps until now and you are with the same partner, and both of you are monogamous, it is highly unlikely that you would have an abnormal Pap smear again. If prior Paps have all been normal by age 65, further Pap smear testing is not needed.
