Welcome to HCM.
If pap smear is showing hpv and bacterial vaginosis than you have to take complete course of antibiotic.
Metronidazole or clindamycin either orally or vaginally are effective treatment.
Vaginal tab lat containing clotrimazole,tinidazole and lacticacid bacillus will be helpful.
Take proper local care.You have to go for regular follow up.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
