HPV Testing

2023-09-07 16:53:55
Hi Doctor, I have done my HPV and pap smear test in May and June. The results were negative. I haven't been sexually active since April. Wanted to know if its possible that I actually have some kind of HPV strain but I got false negative results. Should I repeat my test even if I am not sexually active? Please let me know.
