Dr Hughes the well known British lupologist said in a talk that " all women with SLE had abnormal PAPs". I was so startled that at the end of the meeting I ran after him to confirm that I had heard right.
If you google (lupus dysplasia) or similar, you'll find a number of reports on studies of the apparent connexion between SLE and HPV. They mention that steroid use does not seem to be a factor in the rate of increase. This suggests that using steroids would not make the condition worse once it exists, but perhaps that is a false assumption.
I hope you can find good doctors soon and start feeling better
Good Luck
