A member asked:
Is it possible that a condom logged in cervix caused an abnormal pap smear?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, not likely: Pap looks at type of cells present. Condom will not affect the cells.

Pap Testing: Nope. There is absolutely no way this scenario would lead to an abnormal pap result.
