Hello i had sex today ( oct 30 friday)and i have an appointment for a pap smear test on tuesday in the afternoon will this affect my results?

No: absolutely not. PAP testing is a scraping of the outer mouth of the cervix to test for pre-cancerous and cancerous cells, and for Genetic analysis of the presence of papillomavirus infection in your past. A prior infection puts you at increased risk of cervical cancer.
