Theola, I don't know, but I've been living in the desert for several years
and have had slightly abnormal PAP smears for the last year.  I get quite a
lot of sun.

Last month I read that folic acid will often turn an abnormal PAP back to
normal, so I've been taking supplemental folic acid in hopes that it will
help.
