I Have Been Panicking For Weeks. Can Not Exclude HSIL Mean I Have HPV ?

My pap smear came back saying. Atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL Now I had gone to a free clinic to have this pap smear done. The nurse told me that I have HPV. (no specific HPV test was run) I have been panicking for weeks. I go on Tuesday to a gynecologist for a repeat pap and I am scared. Does the finding of Atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL mean I have HPV ?
