PAP is not a proper: Test for trichomonas. You may wish to see your doctor for a specific look for this infection and if needed, get treated.

Yes: Sometimes the pap smear will pick up trichomonas, infections on sure pap, however if this is not the case see your doctor for additional testing as it is sexually transmitted and sometimes has no symptoms other than itching.
