No: The pap smear is only designed to screen for the abnormal cells that are "dysplastic" or precancerous, not to test for any of those infections.

No.: Pap test is primarily a screening test for early detection of cervical cancer. However, some additional diseases - infections such as candida, herpes, trichomonas may be detected and reported. Pap test is not primary a test for stds, although the same cervical sample may be used to perform many tests (including variety of molecular tests) to diagnose many stds.
