A member asked:

I am 19 and sexually active for 2 years. when should i get a pap test? i have persistent yeast infection and late periods, can it be caused by hpv's?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Now: In the US, the usual pattern starts with first sexual activity or by age 21. HPV strains differ in their effect on your system. The pap smear is one way to monitor the effect of related strains. The genital wart strains would produce visible warts on most infected persons. HPV would not be a common cause of cycle changes or yeast infections.
