Unfortunately, sperms may be seen on the swab smear but the original source of bacteria or parasites can't be identified. Take care!

Depends when the sperms were deposited .if a week or so ago the chances are they will not be detected on a smear. If the doctor is discreet- like she'he should be your findings will not be shared with anyone else. So relax
