A member asked:
Can a blood test be as reliable as a pap smear test for stds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different Tests: A pap smear looks only for hpv - a virus that causes cervical cancer. Other cervical swabs test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. There is no blood test for those conditions. Other stds do require a blood test such as hepatitis and hiv.
