A member asked:
Will atypical squamous cells (ascus) due to chlamydia show up in a pap smear after only 3 days after sex? are those cells visible immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whoa: ASCUS may be due to HPV, inflammation, or an overcall by a concerned technologist. No one knows how fast they can pop up. There's a protocol for following them up. I'd be surprised if they could develop 3 days after meeting the chlamydia. Treat the infection and repeat the test. Best wishes.
