Love Island star Amy Hart has revealed that she has received a positive HPV result after undergoing a smear test and that she will need to have another test later this year.
If HPV is not found in a sample, the risk of that person getting cervical cancer is very low and there is no need to have any further tests to check for abnormal cervical cells.
However, if HPV is found, the person may need either another cervical screening test or a coloposcopy; a different test to look at the cervix if both HPV and abnormal cells are found.
