Q: i had my hpv and pap test, both are negative. im happy but i have one question that i had a proflora probiotic 40 hours before test, does that affect on my pap result?

: I would ask you lab which tests they use and if proflora probiotic affects the test. Would not expect it to affect a Pap test.

Probiotic would not affect the PAP result. There is limited evidence for usefulness of probiotics. Get HPV vaccine.
