Clarifications.: A pap smear is not sufficient to diagnose gonorrheal cervicitis. Your doctor must perform a cervicovaginal naat (nuclear acid amplification test) or culture to detect this infection. If you and your partner are indeed discordant for such an infection with appropriate testing (urethral swab naat for him), then one must consider the interjection of a third party..
