Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. HPV can lead to LSIL. Close follow up is necessary. However, inflammatory atypia due to infection can also be sometimes called as LSIL.
2. You can get yourself vaccinated against HPV strains, thereby avoiding future infections and risk of malignancy.
3. Get repeat smear after a month for confirmation. If required, biopsy can be taken. Not to worry. At your age, it is more commonly inflammatory atypia.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
