What level of abnormality was it? ASCUS? SIL? For ASCUS, they should probably have called you back for an HPV DNA test. In the case of ASCUS and HPV neg., they usually re-schedule a Pap in 6-12 months. If, on the other hand, you have ASCUS and test positive for HPV, then it is normal to do a colpo right away.
If your Pap is SIL (LSIL/HSIL), again, the next step usually is immediate colposcopy.
Hope this helps.
