How Is A Pap Test Done?
The Pap test is done as part of a pelvic exam. It is simple and takes less than one minute.

During the exam, the Family Planning Nurse Practitioner will use a cotton swab, small brush or thin wooden spatula to take a few cells from your cervix. The Nurse Practitioner will then smear the cells onto a glass slide. The slide is sent to a lab to be looked at under a microscope. Also, at this time the Nurse Practioner will take a sample of your cells for the STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) testing: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea. HIV and/or Syphillis are blood draws. There is also an Oral swab that can be taken for HIV (women only).

When Should I Get My First Pap Test?
You should get your first Pap test in your late teens or when you begin to have sex, whichever comes first. You should get regular Pap tests all your life, even after menopause.

You should get a pap test every one to three years. Some women need the test more often. Your own history affects how often you need a Pap test. Ask your Family Planning Nurse Practitioner what would be recommended for you.
