A member asked:
Can a pap smear determine whether you have chlamydia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kind of...: Many gynecologists perform liquid based pap tests today. The doctor must order a chlamydia pcr test as a separate test, but it can be performed on the fluid in the pap smear vial if there is enough left after performing the pap smear and hpv test. If there is not enough left, then a separate swab may be performed to do the test. http://www.hippocrates1976.com/2010/05/thin-prep-pap-smear.html?m=.
