A member asked:
Is it ok to have intercourse with or without condom the night before a pap smear (thinprep)? or will friction from intercourse "wash/push away" potential abnormal cells so the result is a false negative but actually there were/are bad cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intercourse: will not interfere with the cell sampling of the pap smear.
