Brief Answer:
Negative for malignancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The report is negative for malignancy but endocervical cells are metaplastic. This suggests a high chance of developing cancer in near future. It is best to get the metaplastic cells removed or go for a regular follow up biopsy to rule out malignancy. The positive IgG titre suggests an old infection and immunity developed due to it.
The test also suggests presence of local fungal infection.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

You only have a fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Squamous metaplasia is a non cancerous change and is suggestive of an infection in the area. Your cervical cells show a fungal infection- candida that needs to be treated.
