abnormal pap smear during pregnancy?

I received a call from my ob's office today and I was informed that my pap smear results came out to be abnormal. I'm freaking out because they said they want to test for HPV. The nurse told me that it could either be that or abnormal discharge which I have had abnormal discharge since my pregnancy began. I'm still really scared its HPV. I've been tested before for STDS and showed negative for all of them. but i didn't get a pap smear when I was tested for STDS my fiancee has been checked before also and had negative results as well. Should I be concerned? Has anyone been through this? Any advise?

    HPV is not included in any STD screening. There is no FDA HPV DNA for the male.

    HPV is common sexually transmitted infection. Abnormal cell changes are common during pregnancy this could be due to the immune system working overtime to help protect your baby or the hormone changes that are occurring.

    The HPV test is a screen test for the DNA of 13 high risk HPV types. The HPV test does not screen for all HPV types that may cause abnormal cell changes.

    Another condition is called cervicitis.

    For some pregnant women, cervical dysplasia may increase. This may be due to hormone changes during pregnancy, but this is not proven.
