Any advice? i have never had a paps smear and know i should. do i just go to my regular doctor or do i need a gyno?

Start with regular: doctor. You should have a primary care provider for a general assessment. The primary care provide can perform PAP test. S/he may refer you to a gynecologist, if needed.
