A member asked:
Do you need to undergo a cervical pap smear even if you haven't had sex since you last had one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: You should ask your doc but likely yes. The suggestion is every several years if you have had normal apps. However, since you may have previously been exposed to hpv then the abnormalities can come up years later. Best wishes.
