My Girlfriend just found out that she has abnormal cells on her cervix. We are e
She is 18 and I am 20. We both lost our virginity to each other in high school and know that we could not of received HPV from anyone else. I dont understand how shes got abnormal cells on her cervix. Everything I look up says its caused by HPV from having numerous parnters. Considering we spend almost every waking minute together for the last 4.5 years I know nothings went on. How did she get this? Does she have HPV? Her doctor just said that the cells where abnormal but nothing about her having HPV I have just read that on the interenet. Someone please help me out here.

alright, doctors really need to learn to explain this better, I worked in an OBGYN clinic for 6 years, and poor girls and their boyfriends get confused all the time. If the doctor only said that she has abnormal cells, its doesn't at all mean that she was unfaithful, or that you caused it. In fact, it probably isn't even an std. It is true that HPV can cause abnormal cells in the cervix, but so can a vast number of other things. If she was close to her period, either before or after it, the pap results could have come back skewed, or if you were sexually active recently before the tests were done, that could have messed them up a bit too because her hormones would have still been a little of, not because anything went wrong. My guess is, she was told this after having a pap smear, the doctor will probably request a repeat pap in 3-6 months, just to be sure that all is well. There is a huge chance that this is absolutely nothing, so don't even worry about it for now. Also, the doctor may ask her to have a procedure done, usually a laparoscopy to remove the abnormal cels and send them into a lab for further testing, from my experience, I would say that about half of the women have an irregular pap screen once a year, and that nearly every women has had at least one in her life. Don't jump to conclusions, and ask the doctor to do a better job explaining the causes of these sorts of things, alot of times they just get too busy and don't realize that their patients may not understand. You poor kids. God bless!
Just be sure to do everything the doctor asks, procedure wise and such, and don't miss the repeat tests, that way, if it is more serious (not an std serious) it can be taken care of quickly,
