Likely: If you have had sex, you should get a pap smear. You should discuss the issue with your doctor.

Most likely.: The recommended age to begin pap smears is age 21. Frequency of pap smears will depend on a person's age and medical history. Annual exams are also important, and remember, a pelvic exam is not the same thing as a pap smear screening test.
