Can herpes cause a abnormal pap smear? should i take the antiviral antibiotics to clear up the breakout before having my pap? thanks

Talk to gyno: Herpes lesions, if occurring on the cervix, could cause an abnormal smear, however, it is not a good idea to take anti-viral medication to prevent that from happening. Take HPV vaccination.
