Where can i get a pap smear? is it offered by gps or do i need to go to a gynecologist? will i need a gp referral to go to a gynecologist?

Pap smear: See your GP and ask about Pap smears. This is a routine screen for cervical cancer and if your GP doesn't perform them, s/he will be able to refer you to the best person in your local vicinity who does.

Agree with Dr. H: Your GP may be able to collect the specimen or refer you to a Gynecologist who can. Get HPV vaccine. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
