A member asked:

F 49, why gyne ordered pap smear and hvs culture and sencivity tests. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What symptoms?: Pap smears are done routinely as a cancer screening test for all sexually active women. Hvs, herpes virus, i assume, testing would be dictated by either your symptoms and/or signs on examination. It would be best to ask your doctor.
