Actually...: Many men, especially those who engage in passive anal intercouse with other men, get the test. http://cancer-network.org/cancer_information/gay_men_and_cancer/anal_cancer_hiv_and_gay_men.php

No such thing: There is no such thing as an anal pap smear. It sounds like you have a hemorrhoid.
