A member asked:
I'm 23 yrs old, have been sexually active for 4 years. iv never had a pap smear before, do i need to go for one? and must i go to a gp or gyne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would: An often cited suggestion is by age 21 or within 2 years of first sexual activity. The location would vary with local practice. Some GP's do, some refer them out, call the office & see.
