It is very common to have dysplasia without having HPV. I had, still have, severe dysplasia and my HPV test came back negative. They say that 97% of all cervical abnormalities are caused by HPV, ALTHOUGH, that is being disputed. Other causes could be vitamin deficiencies, smoking, genes, etc. I'm all 3. Don't worry about it though - it happens more often than one would think. Doctor's actually refer to this disease as the "common cold" of STD's.
