Hi KellyPoint
Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of your worry related to your test results. Experiencing worry when you are having to wait for results is common. Google can be a tough place when you are trying to find answers so I have attached a brochure that should be able to answer any questions you have about HPV.

You can review this document/webpage and if you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. In reality, speaking with your Doctor once you get the results is the best result - this way you can get clarity on what everything means and next steps (if any).
I would also assure that your Doctor has you correct address and tell your doctor you would like to receive and discuss all test results with them in future.
Its hard to tell a person not to worry so I won’t but I might suggest Mindfulness as a practice to relieve your worry until you speak with your Doctor. You could download an app called Smiling Mind that some people have success with. Taking time to rest your mind from worry is important.
You are not alone. Waiting for result is hard. You may choose to share the information I have provided to your partner or wait until you receive the results. In any case, don’t hesitate to use the forum to gain support.
Wishing you the best possible outcome,
Nurse Jenn
