    Morning Laura

    look up subject heading   Replace smear testing with HPV self-sampling kits now on hear.

    Both my daughter in law and a neighbor were in your boat a few years ago, both were ok and still are years later.  After you have read the above im sure you will feel a lot better and have more understanding on these smear tests and the verdics they are giving too.

    Not sure what you mean by "borderline" HPV.  I always heard that you either had it or you didn't and not sure why you'd have a colposcopy for having even having a positive test for HPV unless it was one of the strains that can cause cancer or your smear showed atypical cells.  Since your next smear is recommended in two years, I'd say you may not have the dangerous strain and have nothing to be worried about.  Best to call your doc for clarification.
