Pap: It is safe. However, i would definitely inform your doctor that you have not had intercourse , as your doctor must take precautions to be as gentle as possible.

Do you need it?: I could not say better than this: http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/tests-procedures/pap-smear/expert-answers/pap-smear/faq-20057782. Pap is imperative for sexually active woman.This is only means we have to screen for cervical ca. For a female who truly never been active sexually pap may not be necessary. Final decision is between you and your doctor.
