A member asked:
What would be the benefits of a pap smear before you have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pap smear benefits: Geting a regular pap smear (once a year or every 2 years) is recommended for all sexually active women-- it can also show changes due to hpv infection (if present). Timing before intercourse should not effect results.
