Can i still have a pap smear checkup with an iud inserted.

IUD ?'s: IUD's can cause minor inflammation of the cervix, but a pap smear will still be accurate.

Foreigner residing in SA: Ive tested positive for HPV in Denmark back in 2016. I had check-ups yearly, until moving to SA. Last checkup was April 2019. For a check-up/pap smear, can I go to a GP or is a Gynecologist better, as I do have a history?
