I think you need to find a doctor and get information because it doesn't sound like you have been given all the facts. I had my first abnormal pap 15 years ago. The follow up pap was normal. It wasn't until six years ago that I got another abnormal pap. The fact is I was brutal to my body at that point working full time, going to school full time, trying to do it all. I graduated in 2010, all clear!
It is not having HPV that causes cervical cancer it is when it doesn't go away. If I had continued that high stress life for a long period of time I could almost guarantee that I would have cervical cancer eventually.
Pretty much you are at risk, you have to take care of yourself. Eat well, control your stress. Talk to a doctor to get the facts. My doctor monitored me during school but never worried anything would come of it. I had to have two biopsies while I was in school but never anything to remove abnormal cells. They just went back to normal when my body regained the ability to keep the HPV under control.
Most women have HPV and never know it because they have never put their bodies under enough stress that their body couldn't keep it under control.
