Positive results of your Pap Smear test indicate that unusual or abnormal cells on your cervix were found. However, you need to be aware that it does not necessarily mean that you have cervical cancer. In some cases, positive results of the Pap test signal that there have been cell changes caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Negative results of the Pap Smear test indicate that no abnormal cells were detected on your cervix.
