pap - abnormal then normal...m

My question is - in June my pap test results came back showing abnormalities - I forget what my doc called it but she basically said it's nothing, very minor, not to be concerned blah blah..so four months later my repeat pap came back normal but with some yeast and she just told me to treat myself with otc medicine and since then everything seems to be fine down there. I brought up HPV when I asked her about my abnormal pap and that I was worried about it, but she just kind of said "no no just slight abnormalities" - do doctors know pretty much from the pap results whether or not HPV is detected? I'm asking this because I'm interested in a new sexual partner and want to know if it is ok that i go forward with it. We'll use condoms of course but basically I just want to know - is it normal to have a mildly abnormal pap and then for everything after that to come back normal? Can I have sex with someone new or do I have to put my life on hold until I get off of "pap watch" (my doc still wants me to go back in a few months just to make sure). To all the ladies who have had abnormal paps - does this sound like nothing to worry about...I'm sorry I'm really paranoid about things like this, and realize that this post is probably confusing because I'm just thinking so many things.
Oh and I called my doctor and left a message for her to call me, so I will talk to her about it, I just want some input from you guys to see what you think.
Thanks in advance.

I really don't think it's anything to worry about.
